THE SEVEN-UPS (1973) - Apr. 5, 2008
Roy Scheider is quite good in this film about a group of cops investigating a string of kidnappings. The film was expectedly slow-paced, and somewhat hard to follow at times, but it was well made and never boring. Plus, it featured what had to be one of the best car chases I've ever seen. It was almost ten minutes long, and it was awesome; most contemporary directors (Michael Bay, Paul Greengrass, etc.) could learn a thing or two from this film. The ominous score by Don Ellis was also a highlight. ***
