My Review-

I first saw this movie in my film class last year, but never got around to finish so I decide to put it on my list because i wanted to finish watching it. For what this movie was, what seemed like one big long car chase it was pretty cool, because back then for movies like this one that was a big hit; car chases an this delivered in that area. At times I hoped that there would be a little more than car chases and more on the cops going after Newman's character rather than brief moments with them. Another thing that I found enjoyable was the radio DJ that was helping him out every so often whether he wanted it or not. The music was another thing I liked about this movie, well because it was set in the 1970s. When I read that a remake was made I was kind of disappointed because this movie was fine the way it was and did not need a remake.
