Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Another Exploitation Film
The film begins in a transit station. A man makes a call from a telephone booth. [Remember them?] Another man watches and follows him. They get on a bus, a car follows them. Two more passengers get on the bus. A submachine gun sprays bullets! Then the credits show over the scenes. One passenger is barely alive. The police investigation begins. [They don't use rubber gloves.] One of the dead is police detective Dave Evans. The victims are checked and tagged. The bus is towed away. Detective Jake Martin ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Death by the Busload
Gritty naturalism and Altman-esque crosstalk amid great Bay City location work inform this 70s procedural that entertains but misses the mark of being a classic. The picture's overlong with a few too many red herrings. Things pick up for the climax. (Indeed, the ingenious plot could be due for a remake.)

Matthau is suitably low-key in the picture's admirably unsparing picture of the cop's home life. Lou and Bruce are along to jack up the energy.





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A solid San Francisco police procedural in the "Bullitt"-mode
In the 1960s the writing team of Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo wrote police procedural mysteries based on the cops of the Stockholm PD--a sort of Swedish 87th Precinct series without a vestige of wit or humor, hence the ironic title. Oh, very gloomily Scandinavian! The books were immensely successful in Europe and even managed the almost unprecedented feat of jumping the Atlantic to become best sellers in America. "The Laughing Policeman" was probably the best-known book of the lot. It is still very much ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Eight People Know Who The Killer Is - And They're All Dead
Sgt. Jake Martin is speaking to his new partner, Insp. Leo Larsen; trying to convince him how important this investigation is. Inspector Leo Larsen is leery:

"Sgt. Jake Martin SFPD: Evans was working the Teresa thing on his own time. He's killed on the same bus with Gus Niles who's looking for a grease gun that happens to be the weapon used.

Insp. Leo Larsen SFPD: And then his girlfriend winds up dead on the floor with the needle... Jake, you realize what you just did? You do it ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Interesting Police Procedural, Very Much Of Its Time
Two men get on a bus in early morning San Francisco. It's still dark out. One seems to be following the other, and the first man appears to be aware of it but isn't concerned. There are five other passengers, among them an old man, a young woman going to work, a Chinese-American kid. The bus picks up another passenger. This man goes to the back of the bus, and while he's seated he quietly reaches into a bag and screws on a barrel to a machine gun. Then he stands and murders everyone on the bus. The bus crashes ...
