Title: A good, straightforward tale
Review: This movie, along with its companion piece The Super Cops, gives you a taste of NYC in the 1970s. While neither are big budget blockbusters like The French Connection & Serpico, both get their storytelling job done efficiently & in a way that'll sitck in your mind for its spareness. I recommend that you buy French Connection & Serpico along with this film & Super Cops, then get The Panic In Needle Park & the first Death Wish, & lastly The Anderson Tapes & Dog Day Afternoon. That collection will allow you to see how bad life was back then in The Big Apple from 3 perspectives (Law enforcement, citizen, & criminal) & how much things have improved by comparison. Not perfect by any stretch, but WAY better than it was, & as a buddy of mine from the Bronx said: "As bad as things were, we could always say that @ least it wasn't like New Jersey & Detroit......YET!", then he'd smile, & that smile made me glad I was living in Oakland/California @ the time!
