Tim S Mar 13 Never knew of this movie before stumbling across it on Prime Video. Elliott Gould is as he is in most of his roles: hilarious and reason enough to watch any movie. Robert Blake is okay. The story arc is a little uneven but the individual scenes are fun enough and really emblematic of the 1970s cop genre. You could watch this movie in extended clips and like it. The seediness of it seeps through hard. The “fruit bar”, the porn bookstore, the warrantless searches. The wallpaper! I’m a big fan of 70s movies and they need not be great. Busting is true 70s and that’s what I enjoyed about it. See more Damian S Feb 27 Watch it with 1974 eyes See more bob c Feb 19 Junk, 1974 style. Has a pretty blonde.

Almost like a precursor to the buddy cop films of the 80s, both lead co-stars have great chemistry onscreen, often exchanging dialogue and jokes at an easy amicable pace. See more 10/27/2018 Elliot Gould and Robert Blake are vice cops who find, after a series of their arrests are quashed by higher ups, that gangster Allen Garfield is behind most of the crime they encounter. They dedicate themselves to taking him down, even though nobody, including the police, seem to want him taken down. This flick has an extremely relaxed pace and amiable tone to it, and then kind of sneaks up on you as it gets increasingly intense. Gould and Blake feel like a really odd pairing on paper, but they play off each other really well. Sid Haig plays Garfield's main muscle guy, and Antonio Fargas and Michael Lerner also show up. This is the kind of film that seems underwhelming, but when it's done, you realize you really enjoyed it. See more 07/30/2017 Solid buddy cop movie from 1974. Good chemistry between Blake and Gould. Gritty but not excessive in its depiction of vice with liberal doses of humor and an interesting story. Gould's laconic, world weary performance reminded me of his turn in the Long Goodbye.
