Highway Racer (Policía brigada especial)

... then this is the film for you. Despite "The French Connection" often being cited for them, this I felt was much better in that regard, even if the overall plot is a bit thin.

I must say that the lead actor reminded me so much of James Caan that I wondered whether they copied each other at some level? I understand that he was quite famous anyway by this time, but as far as I can recall this is the first time that I've seen him in anything.

As for the rest of the cast and the film, there's good support all round but, if this is at all true to life and the way that police chases were conducted then, one feels very glad not to have been a passing member of the public!

Good gritty fun.
