The Seven Ups (1973)
Dir: Philip D'Antoni
Producer-turned-director Philip D’Antoni’s hard-nosed cop thriller is the mid-point between Lumet and Friedkin. The slow burn drama of Prince Of The City collides with bursts of tight, terrific action that, while not quite matching the intensity of The French Connection, honestly, blows Bullitt out of the water. The car chase conjured up here is a real jaw-dropper and inexplicably unheralded when discussing great vehicular mayhem.
