David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a fairly massive disappointment that feels like it should be much, much better. Rated: 2/4 Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Producer Philip D'Antoni also oversaw Bullitt and The French Connection, so it's no coincidence that all three films contain what are rightly considered three of the best car chases ever filmed. Rated: 3/4 Aug 30, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Boasts a spectacular car chase sequence, which carries on for longer than its peers, and features numerous location changes and plenty of destruction. Rated: 7/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press If you're in the mood for pure escapism, it would be a mistake to pass this one by in favor of other bigger, more star-studded samples. Dec 17, 2019 Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap Producer Philip D'Antoni failed to hit the trifecta with The Seven-Ups, a lackluster follow-up to Bullitt and The French Connection. Rated: 3/5 Jul 1, 2019 Full Review Ed Travis Cinapse Fans of gritty 1970s New York City crime cinema (and who isn't, really?), should absolutely seek out The Seven-Ups, both as a fascinating piece of a larger crime cinema tapestry, and as a thrilling action film in its own right.

Scott M The performances in this film seem muted. Almost like everyone didn't like something about the director or production. I found the story intriguing. However, the dialog was flat. The entire movie is forgettable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Solid New York cop action movie, Brought to you by most of the same team that gave us The French Connection. Gritty and hard hitting, early 1970'S style. With Roy Scheider at the Nova wheel, in a thrilling car chase. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review acsdoug D This movie is famous for its car chase scene. And rightfully so, it's awesome. Unfortunately, "awesome" is not the word I would use to describe te rest of the movie. "Dull" and "slow" are more accurate. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Nik75 J Very good neo-noir with some strong performances. A lot of good street scenes and a good car chase. A very watchable effort that starts off a bit slow, but picks up in intensity. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review BladeRunnerBear 2 If you're a fan of Roy Scheider (This is him 2 years before Jaws) and those grainy, desaturated 1970s, New York movies like Serpico, Marathon Man and The French Connection? Then this one is worth a spin. It also has a great edge of the seat car chase that still holds up well today. It certainly wasn't shot against a green screen in a cosy studio. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review craig p Above average, maybe taken a little from the French connection with a superb car chase. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
