I'd have to say, after finally having seen this movie, that the poster was the best thing about it. McQueen does a decent job of playing, well, himself, but the rest of the cast might as well be cardboard cutouts. It plays like a TV movie, so it was no surprise to learn that director Buzz Kulik had a mess of TV credits and few movies. The outdoor scenes were decently shot, but the indoor scenes were lit like an episode of "Adam 12." The thing that had me on the cusp of changing the channel the whole time was the godawful music. It was worse than a 1940s romance, with over-the-top strings swelling to grand crescendos...while nothing was happening! Gads. I'll need to watch "Bullitt" again to cleanse my mind of this tragedy.
