 Rated 8/10
One of those that I'd always put off watching, because it was always around.

(If that makes any sense)

...Which is to say, that what with a mountain of movies to be seen, some, I see, seem always to be on TV or turning up on DVD etc. so I get to prioritise others, and never seem to get around to this one, which is perpetually knocked to the back of the queue.

So anyway, I finally decided to bite the bullitt... er sorry, I meant bullet (chuckle), and give it a watch.

And it turns out it's a brilliant prime slice of ultra-cool McQueen-ery, every bit the equal of Bullitt.

Very groovy split-screen late sixties set up credits, with cool jazz score and the immortal "Windmills of your mind" song, which then gives way to the tale of the bored millionaire playboy type (McQueen) who knocks over banks purely for kicks, being hunted by, not only pretty sharp police detective, but also the ultra-sharp, and super seductive bank insurance investigator (Dunaway), who quickly takes up with him, and a tale of cat and mouse ensues.

...But which is the cat, and which the mouse?

It's essentially what every super-cool hustle / heist movie since has clearly been inspired by (Ocean's 11, etc.), except this is has more of an effortless cool about it, as well as the sexiest game of chess ever committed to screen.

Excellent stuff.
