A crime movie is not always my favorite genre. Often not always clear in terms of storyline, so I really have to make an effort to keep the events (and sometimes the many characters) apart. Also here I was rarely in the story. Lots of chases of which I couldn't get much head or tail at the time. Pretty messy in that regard.
What I did enjoy was the drab dilapidated quarters of the city. Dirty, dingy, dark and dirty. Futureless too. The film has to rely mainly on its atmosphere and decor. And the acting of Hackman and Scheider, among others.
In its entirety not quite, but a number of elements were definitely worth seeing.
