Wow!
I caught this on terrestrial TV a couple of years back and was mesmerised.
It is definitely one for the boys (and tomboys) as it is a fast paced thriller that doesn’t shy away from violence.
Gene Hackman stars as Popeye Doyle, a cop with an unconventional style. The story is based in New York and the plot is a drugs one as they track a large heroin shipment.
This film is famed for the car chase finale, which is excellent, standing the test of time 34 years on.
