...a fairly massive disappointment that feels like it should be much, much better.

3/4

Producer Philip D'Antoni also oversaw Bullitt and The French Connection, so it's no coincidence that all three films contain what are rightly considered three of the best car chases ever filmed.

7/10

Boasts a spectacular car chase sequence, which carries on for longer than its peers, and features numerous location changes and plenty of destruction.

If you're in the mood for pure escapism, it would be a mistake to pass this one by in favor of other bigger, more star-studded samples.

3/5

Producer Philip D'Antoni failed to hit the trifecta with The Seven-Ups, a lackluster follow-up to Bullitt and The French Connection.

Fans of gritty 1970s New York City crime cinema (and who isn't, really?), should absolutely seek out The Seven-Ups, both as a fascinating piece of a larger crime cinema tapestry, and as a thrilling action film in its own right.

Good action movie. Convoluted plot.

good gritty 70's atmosphere and great action. Also the reason that semi trailers have DOT bar on back of their trailers. Director hated the fact that people were still being beheaded when they rear end trucks. Trucking companies fought release of this film.

D'Antoni's directorial debut and it shows. This film proves not only boring, but awkward and claustrophobic.

This gritty and grounded crime thriller comes very close to being up there with the best from the 70's. Roy Scheider holds it all together at this central character, the action is realistic with one of the most thrilling car chases from the era, the plot holds your attention, the score is solid and although it doesn't add all that much that is new to the genres it is embedded in it is still an engrossing and thoroughly well made film from the era that spawned many classics.

One of the most pragmatic, no nonsense thus no surreal crime/police stories. If not the best !
