Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Good scripting and excellent direction by Peter Yates maintain deliberately low-key but mounting suspense.

A terrific movie, just right for Steve McQueen -- fast, well acted, written the way people talk.

McQueen is great in Bullitt, and the movie is great, because director Peter Yates understands the McQueen image and works within it. He winds up with about the best action movie of recent years.

fresh:
Even though the story almost makes no sense and the Oscar-winning editing has several illogical cuts, Bullitt is an exquisitely satisfying motion picture, particularly if there is still an adolescent boy lodged somewhere in your psyche.

There isn't much here, and what there is is awfully easy.
