Can someone explain to me the deal is with this film?
I've attempted three times to watch it and have not been able to make it through. It probably bores me more than any other movie.

I dunno, I keep meaning to getting around to watching this one. Isn't it based on a true story?

Yes, based on a true story from the early 1960s. Might be biased here but I hold it up as one of the most exciting movies ever made.

It’s one of those movies that I tried to like. But I really don’t care. The car chase is well done though.

The story of hard-bitten, unorthodox NY cops going up against the sytem and criminals has become pretty tired, but it wasn't back then. This a great one.

It's frequently dismissed as a hister retro cassette of tiresome woke cliches filled through well-worn digital superiority. Skip this menace.

Different times. Heroin was not morphine. A street drug, controlled by gangs. Like crack and cocaine, oxy and perks, fent and meth. Who controls? Dealers? Doctors? Organized crime? Thugs? Government?
Good movie.
