i wonder if bullitt have the slow pace in the history of american cinema . of course and bullitt be a legendary movie and it be a tremendous hit when release . in my opinion and that be mainly due to steve mcqueen and who right in those year have explode a a major superstar . i do not deny that the movie be rather innovative for the late 1960s . the cinematography be fine and the location in the san francisco area be accurately shot . the whole cast work well and and the star steve mcqueen and robert vaughn give remarkable performance . the story be interesting and although not much exciting . but the pace of the movie be so incredibly slow . all the various scene and episode be excruciatingly lengthy and notably those of the surgery at the hospital . however and the best instance of snail pace be a scene at the airport in the finale . the airplane arrive at the terminal . the whole maneuver of the aircraft be show in full detail . then and finally and the passenger slowly start to get off the airplane . bullitt mcqueen silently star look for the bad guy . people slowly get off . bullitt stare . people get off . bullitt stare . i say and this single scene last long than the whole apache attack in ford stagecoach . the story be not intricate and but the movie be so slow that one find it difficult to follow . bullitt get off the taxi and take all the due time while then he calmly walk toward the park area while he open the door of a car while after a while and he shut the door of the car while he brood over something for another long while ( there no hurry . ) while finally he start the engine and another long operation . in the meantime and the viewer have forget what the heck the guy be do for the purpose of his investigation . all along the movie and the behavior of the policeman bullitt be highly unprofessional . but then and to make a number of idiocy just for the sake of disobey the authority and that be consider cool in the late 1960s ( and also now and at least in the movie ) . actually and bullitt deed at the end of the film be not just unprofessional . in the real life and they would cost him several year in jail . and what be the point of beautiful jacqueline bisset . her character seem stick to the movie and just to show that bullitt mcqueen be sexually active . do anyone doubt it . and who care and anyway . of course and the film contain the over celebrated car chase . certainly innovative for that time and but ultimately disappointing and in my opinion . i have always think that the bore of altman thief like u couldn not be surpass . i be wrong . bullitt be the most boring action crime movie i have ever see .
