It has been said that this film provided some inspiration for the cop show "Starsky and Hutch." Well in my opinion, there is a lot more entertainment value in an episode of that particular TV programme compared with the above movie.
"Busting" is completely predictable and routine, nothing about the production stands out in any way. There may be the usual car chases and gun play but they were only added for the sake of it. The plot (if you can call it that) is non-existent and the downbeat ending doesn't exactly help.
Elliott Gould was a good leading man in his day and made a few good films. "Busting" isn't one of them. His fellow lead Robert Blake doesn't have much to contribute. His career would grind to a halt by the end of the decade and is hardly remembered today.
I won't be watching this movie again for quite some time.
