BAMcinématek 2017
series Edgar Wright Presents Heist Society
Directed by Walter Hill | 1978
With Ryan O'Neal, Bruce Dern, Isabelle Adjani
“A taut, zero-fat thriller with Ryan O’Neal & Bruce Dern playing cat & mouse through downtown LA’s concrete jungle.”
—EDGAR WRIGHT
Walter Hill’s taut, existential thriller is both pure ‘70s and a stylish throwback to the noir era. The brilliant setup of cross and double cross pits an obsessive detective (Dern) against a master getaway driver (O’Neal) in a series of intricately choreographed, never-surpassed car chases praised by Pauline Kael for their “near abstract visual power.”
