DVD Reviews of Bullitt [Blu-ray]
DVD Review: Brilliant!.
Summary: 5 Stars
Steve McQueen (The Great Escape) stars as detective Frank Bullitt, a man assigned to protect Pete Ross who is due in court in a few days. But Ross is killed and now Bullitt has to track down the murderer and unravel the case, A local politician (Robery Vaughn) acts as the token bureaucrat standing in the way of getting things done. Bullitt is a slick and exciting typical crime drama with great visuals and has perhaps one of the best car chase scenes of all time, the most famous car chase scene in cinematic history with great direction to match. The film was shot in San Fransisco and uses alot of great locations and the acting from the cast was top notch especially from McQueen who is second to none as the intelligent and sophisticated detective Frank Bullitt and this performance by the talented actor brings the plot to life with exquisite timing, he was definitely one of the coolest actors ever. The story is not that complicated but is rather effective as a gritty cop thriller from the 60's. Peter Yates directs the set pieces superbly, from the great car chase (often imitated but never bettered) to the Airport showdown with McQueen his coolest best. Jacqueline Bisset also plays Bullitts girlfriend who is caught between her love for him and hatred of his job. Now over 35 years old, Bullitt still remains to be a classic. The film is restored in widescreen and with renewed picture clarity and has a good selection of extras to make this one an awesome addition to your collection especially if you're a Steve McQueen fan.

DVD Review: only one steve mcqueen
Summary: 3 Stars
Product quality was good. Story line a bit thin with predictable antagonists. Seem to remember a very weak and unsatisfying ending. The car chase may have been hot in its day, but it seems really ordinary by today's standards. You have to love Steve McQueen though. He even looks good in dorky pajamas.

Description of Bullitt [Blu-ray]
His new assignment seems routine: protecting a star witness for an important trial. But before the night is out the witness lies dying and cool no-nonsense Detective Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) won't rest until the shooters and the kingpin pulling their strings are nailed. From opening shot to closing shootout Bullitt crackles with authenticity: San Francisco locations crisp dialogue and to-the-letter police hospital and morgue procedures. An Oscar winner for Best Film Editing (1968) this razor-edged thriller features one of cinema history's most memorable car chases. Buckle up and brace for unbeatable action.Running Time: 114 min.System Requirements:Runtime: 114 minsFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?NR UPC:?085391136842 Manufacturer No:?113684Peter Yates's 1968 cop drama has its existentialist pretensions, but there is something seductive about its strained seriousness and Steve McQueen's intentionally stoic performance as a San Francisco police detective on the trail of a murderer. A couple of key action sequences boost the film's stature, the most memorable of which is a vertiginous car chase that Yates almost approaches as a dance. Jacqueline Bisset provides window dressing as Bullitt's girlfriend--worried about how much his job strips away his humanity--and Robert Vaughan is almost reptilian as an opportunistic politician. --Tom Keogh
San Francisco has been the setting of a lot of exciting movie car chases over the years, but this 1968 police thriller is still the one to beat when it comes to high-octane action on the steep hills of the city by the Bay. The outstanding car chase earned an Oscar for best editing, but the rest of the movie is pretty good, too. Bullitt is a perfect star vehicle for cool guy Steve McQueen, who stars as a tenacious detective (is there any other kind?) determined to track down the killers of the star witness in an important trial. Director Peter Yates (Breaking Away) approached the story with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, using a variety of San Francisco locations. Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Duvall appear in early roles, and Robert Vaughn plays the criminal kingpin who pulls the deadly strings of the tightly wound plot. --Jeff Shannon
