NYC detective Buddy Manucci (Roy Scheider) runs the "Seven-Ups," a five-man detail that uses clever means to bust serious felons, the ones that might be put away for seven years and upward. The Seven-Ups may be the lesser cinematic achievement of the three films but it is possibly the best of the crime action flicks of the early 1970's - it's a consistently convincing, gritty little drama, and its central car chase may be the best of all for simple credibility. ![]() ![]() The French Connection is a distinctive William Friedkin picture but it stayed close to the D'Antoni formula, with a major car chase opening up the third act. Producer Philip D'Antoni gave crime pix a big shot in the arm with 1968's Bullitt, a detective-vs-the-mob story that pared dialogue to a minimum, gave Steve McQueen a definitive role and upped the ante for the violent car chase as a spectator sport.
