The Seven-Ups (1973)


A solid police–gangster crime thriller made special by a truly stellar car chase sequence. This has one of the great movie cat chases of the 1970s. It’s French Connection level (a movie produced by the director of The Seven-Ups, Philip D'Antoni). Anyway this is worth a watch. It’s nicely plotted, boasts a good central performance by the always excellent Roy Schneider, another by the wonderful Tony Lo Bianca, and that car chase is great.
