Fun, tight detective thriller with the Cooler King being the King of Cool, Steve McQueen. While it doesn't add up to much more than the sum of its parts, its parts are plenty fine. You can hardly avoid mentioning the iconic car chase, and a fantastic car chase it is, too. It draws inspiration from THE LINEUP, and really the movie as a whole would be right at home among some of the better police procedural films noir. There's more to the movie than just the chase, though, and I can't think of a scene that felt superfluous or boring. It also avoids a lot of the "rogue cop" clichés and doesn't feel too predictable. Good times.
