The American Film Institute rated this as the 70th best movie of all time. I highly disagree. While the movie wasn't horrible, it certainly wasn't one of the top 500 movies that I have ever seen. Even the famous "chase" scene wasn't all that exciting for me. Maybe back in 1971, this was cutting edge, but today it just didn't cut the mustard. I actually really enjoy older movies, but this was not one of them. It was like watching a serious episode of "Barney Miller" or an episode of "The Streets of San Francisco." 6 Stars.
