Elliott Gould and Robert Blake had great chemistry in this one. And Peter Hyams sure knew how to stage an exciting action set-piece. Especially the marketplace sequence. That camerawork and music score was so effortless. I agree. Watching it on Blu Ray now I appreciated it so much more than when I saw it on the big screen back in the seventies when I was a teenager - not that I didn't enjoy it then. The one-of-a-kind Gould is wonderful here, and his scenes with Allen Garfield hum. Nice to see Sid Haig, playing a supporting heavy of some menace. We also saw NEWMAN'S LAW (1974) - on Blu Ray last week. It's not in the league of BUSTING, but if you are jonesing for a fairly gritty downbeat seventies cop movie with some action and sleaze, it ticks all the boxes, is very interestingly cast, comes with slick production values, extensive location photography and features a couple of vivid scenes. I went in with relatively low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.
