This is a murky crime thriller that seems to be more about atmosphere than it is about a clearcut plot. The grittiness and nastiness of Hackman's character sets it apart from most other crime films that feature "honorable" police officers. The car chase scene is, I think, the best ever made, besting even Bullitt's iconic chase.
