Bullitt (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Various

Always liked Steve McQueen films. Gritty action packed with excessive violence

40 odd years later and still one of the coolest movies ever made. I suppose what makes it so damn cool (besides the presence of Steve McQueen) is the minimal dialogue but each word is meaningful to the plot and character development. So much is also conveyed in looks and expression. A marvelously constructed and tense movie with real characters. And of course THE car chase that started them all. And no CGI or special effects in sight. Just real cars with real drivers on real roads and no ludicrous near misses such as with have these days where you need to suspend all disbelief. People actually die rather than walk away from massive explosions etc only requiring a band aid and a glib one liner. Well acted and tightly directed this movie has held up really well over time. Buy it you will not be disappointed.

From the opening Lalo Schifrin theme to the taciturn lead of Steve Mcqueen as Frank Bullitt this movie just oozes cool.It also stands the test of time with its' storyline holding the viewers interest right up to the final reel when the twist comes in the plot-and who can forget that classic car-chase through San Francisco's hilly streets beautifully filmed by Peter Yates...awesome!So many great movies remain unavailable on Steelbook:Dirty Harry,The Conversation,All The President's Men,Outland...i could go on forever with this list but this German release is a good start,so fingers crossed that someone is listening and takes note.I highly recommend this great movie-and this steelbook for anybody that appreciates cinema at it's best.

Bullitt's car chase is legendary, so I figured I would give it a watch.every month, I organise one night where I invite friends around to watch a movie that people often talk about, or a movie that is often referenced in other shows or reviews, but I haven't actually seen before.There are plenty of them, and I only try and claw my way through them one at a time.March was the turn of Bullitt, the iconic Steve McQueen movie.It combines 4 great elements of ultimate cool:Ford MustangSteve McQueenAviator SunglassesLalo Schiffrin soundtrackGreat movie, very 60s feel to it. Jacqueline Bisset is gorgeous, it's surprising she didn't become a bigger star.It got an oscar for editing apparently, although the feel of the scenes connecting isn't nearly as smooth as the title credits at the start.Overall though, it seems like the pilot epsisode of a TV series that I never saw, rather than a movie that was to stand up for itself, as there is so much suggestion of the characters being more complicated than we actually see during the show itself.Still have to watch the bonus documentaries, but look forward to them as my film nerd pals tell me that the making of Bullitt is a story in itself.TFO

Great dvd

Possibly one of Steve McQueen's finest films and includes a memorable car chase sequence that has never been beaten, especially since many of the sequences were filmed with the star himself behind the wheel of the chase car. It has often been said that Steve McQueen was one of the finest actors of his generation because acting was effortless and natural for him despite him being almost permanently at loggerheads with the film industry. Highly recommended, especially if you like car chases.

Just bought this film after so many years having not seen it on TV.Had to watch it straight away and it was an absolute joy. So much better than any of the present cop series, a great story with interest and sensible action. As always the car chase simply has to be the best car chase of all time.A delight to watch, it's true they don't make films or film stars like they used to.Buy it, savour it and mourn the loss of good action films and superb actors.

i ordered this for some family members who for some reason had never heard of the film or Steve McQueen. everything that can be said about this film has been said, and all the good stuff is true - a brilliant movie in itself, that classic car chase really is worth the title of "greatest ever". if you do not own it, buy it!

ottimo prodotto

Tres bon blu ray merci

DVD BULLITT BLEN RECU ET BIEN EMBALLE MERCI

Ich mag solche Filme, die hatten noch mehr Handlung und Klasse.

余計な説明や音楽に頼らず、俳優の確かな演技に支えられた映像で勝負する作品。主役のマックィーンはもちろん、ボーンやちょい役のデュバルも強い印象を残す。
