I heard the plot is the weakest part of the movie but I thought it was an entertaining and intriguing story.

Well...I finally watched the famous Steve McQueen _Bullitt_ film. The well-known car chase was certainly the best part of the film, and honestly the ONLY part of the movie worth watching. The rest of it was shallow and confusing and that conclusion... I'm still trying to figure out what happened.

But the car chase was good. The car chase was worth watching.

Decent action movie with the famous car chase and Steve McQueens who makes a perfect low key bad a$$. It could have been a great movie had the plot been a little thicker.

I see it again and I like it better, well shot and directed. Good for the chase done in normal style, not fast and furious style

Doesn’t really stand the test of time. I’m sure in 1968 this was awesome, and one cannot deny that many action movies borrowed from this one.

@beernbugs nonsense. This movie is cooler than any of the corny Fast and the Furious movies.

A super, super stylish slab of police detective action, starring Steve McQueen, right at the height of his status as the coolest man in all of Hollywood. It certainly looks great. Bullitt's picture quality and directorial choices are astounding for a fifty-year-old film, with a heavy, lasting influence on modern action cornerstones. An ambitious opening credits sequence sets that tone early, creative and experimental and ahead of its time, while McQueen's essential wardrobe choices remain fashionable throughout.


Perhaps the film's most memorable, and oft-referenced, legacy is its climactic, screeching, white-knuckled muscle car chase through the streets of San Francisco. That scene alone is almost worth the price of admission, a ten-minute thrill ride with tangible mass, unpolished mistakes, curved steel and grim consequences. It almost, almost, polishes over the extra-slow pace, occasional stereotypes and confusing plot turns.

Still an entertaining watch, but often as nothing more than a simple, vivid document of everyday life in SF during the late 60s. There's barely enough substance in the police story to fill a twenty-minute network TV crime drama.

Ok, ok... so I had never seen a Steve McQueen film. Sue me. I liked McQueen a lot in this movie. That said, the directing was mediocre and the movie just kind of fell over at the end. I thought I read somewhere that the editor had won an Emmy for this film. This is probably the only film that I had ever noticed the editing, and that wasn't a good thing. In one car chase the editor cut the film just as McQueen's car was about to crash into another car so that the chase could continue.

Yes, the car chase is what sets this movie apart from similar ones. Althought I remembered it to be longer. But the rest of the movie isn't bad either. It's a thriller in the truest sense of the word with convincing portrayals from, both, McQueen and Vaughn alike.

McQueen plays it Uber cool, pulling it off as usual, and the car chase centerpiece really is great, but the movie around it is just kind of bare and hollow. There's a fairly interesting story, but it's not pulled off as strongly as people like to pretend. I think people are just hung up on how awesome that chase is, and want desperately for the rest of the movie to be equally good.
