5.0 out of 5 stars overblown fiction, Aug 7 2000

By

bob (long island new york) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Seven Ups, the (VHS Tape)

my dad was one of the original seven-up cops from the nypd. he was a detective seargent.this movie was a much fictionalized version of what he did. day to day police work was very mundane and boring, not all shoot-em-up the way the movie shows.

4.0 out of 5 stars Low-key, realistic police drama, Nov 9 1999

This review is from: Seven Ups, the (VHS Tape)

It remains in the shadow of its famous predecessor, 'The French Connection,' but 'The Seven Ups' is required viewing if you're in the mood for a no-nonsense, unglorified NYC police story. There's an incredible end to the car chase, the film's trademark, but watch it for the straightforward acting, jolting plot twists, and unvarnished picture of workaday New York in the '70s. The music lends an eerie mood, and there's plenty of small touches of realism. My favorite is a grim view of a muddy New Jersey wasteland--trains of oblivious commuters roar by the cops and villains on foot. 'The Seven Ups' is a rare breed--it looks like it could have happened the way it was filmed. Unspectacular but rewarding.

5.0 out of 5 stars In the street realisim, Sep 29 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Seven Ups, the (VHS Tape)

This is one of the most technically acurate police movies regarding the NYPD ever made.A believible story with believible characters , not your typical Hollywood prettyboys and overemphisis on special effects. To bad they don't produce these types anymore.
