    Neorealism in its purest form. His qualities are well demonstrated. The film is imbued with darkness and crime of the 70s, and constant surveillance and sound accompaniment increasingly escalate the atmosphere of the film. Translated to English

    I found the film boring. The movie was overpraised and has five more Oscars, for what? I walked away from the screen a couple of times, and when I returned, nothing had changed. Cult movie? Not for me at all. Translated to English

    Watched

    Not a bad crime movie. Gene Hackman did a great job playing the cop. Although the film is a little long, the plot is quite interesting. Translated to English

    Watched

    A good genre movie made in a time when the grass was greener. The atmosphere, the main duo and some scenes are the main strengths of the film. Translated to English

    Watched

    A down-to-earth police action retro detective story. The atmosphere is absorbing from the first scene, all the characters are persistent, confident individuals. The ending is powerful. Translated to English
