Sucked? The movie was great. It was a thinking movie. When McQueen walked into the hotel room/apt. where the fake perp and cop were shot, and he sizes up the whole scene with nothing but background noise from the freeway, showed deeply into his character.

The whole procedural part of Bullit has only been outdone by "The French Connection," IMO.

The DA played by Robert Vaughn was an excellent political opportunist a-hole.

And the end scene at SFO with McQueen chasing the real perp on the runways and into the terminal was terrific.

There was more to Bullit than Bisset (who I thought was a weak character -- just eye candy) and the car chase.
