The Seven-Ups (1973)
8/10
Entertaining 70s cop flic
19 October 2012
This 70s police movie by the same director as the French Connection is worth a watch...Some clever kidnappers go after gang related targets...crooked bondsmen in this case. They pretend to be under cover cops when they nab their victims---. An undercover cop group is ultimately investigated by the police force who think this group (the seven ups) might be involved in this. The action comes when the seven ups clear up their name.

Good standard entertainment and a good car chase...as one reviewer put it no subplots no sex the only female in the entire movie an old gangsters wife who is threatened while the undercover cops seek to prove their innocence and catch the real kidnappers. No PC garbage no gimmicky weapons...just a good solid police action story.

Great car chase with Pontiacs including a Ventura II a Nova name tag clone.

This movie probably deserves about an 8. I give a 7 to decent entertaining movies nothing exceptionally good or bad... a 6 and below to formula stuff. A 1 to PC garbage pseudo intellectual art films and so forth.

RECOMMEND
