"You believe what you want. You work your side of the street, and I'll work mine." - Lt. Frank Bullitt

Why watch this? Steve McQueen and one of the best car chase scenes on film.

Plot Summary: In San Francisco, Detective Frank Bullitt is assigned to protect a crucial witness for an ambitious politician. When an unexpected attack leaves the witness dead, Bullitt goes rogue to uncover the truth behind the murder. He races against time, facing dangerous adversaries and navigating twists and turns to solve the crime.

Dad's Preview: I do wonder how films like Bullitt will hold the attention of younger viewers, whom I will refer to as the Fast and the Furious generation. This film, made way before CGI, was praised for its realism, as it shows the audience how police procedures work. The cool Steve McQueen portrays Frank Bullitt, a tough cop who trusts no one. He runs things tight, and keeps it all inside, opting to shelter his girlfriend from what his job entails. There IS a great car chase, as Bullitt, in his famous Highlander green Ford Mustang, pursues two criminal thugs through hilly San Francisco. In the end, Bullitt gets his man, and you'll get this film, too, if you apply a little cinematic patience.
