Rating: 3/4 -- Caan and Arkin have great chemistry and the vehicle stunts are spectacular in this entertaining, very 1970s buddy-cop movie.

Rating: 4/5 -- The best darn movie of the seventies you've never seen. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5 -- It has a cast of otherwise good actors doing bits of business (sometimes called acting) as if they thought they could upstage all of the movie's automobiles, which are seldom still.

Rush's movie can be enjoyed as kitsch, but it plays better as an early stab at a Lethal Weapon-style movie, effortlessly combining violence and humour. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

What cops in their right minds would arrest a big-time racketeer on an indecent exposure charge because he zipped up his fly? The answer is none. The answer's also Freebie Waters and Benito "Bean" Vasquez, who are assuredly not in their right minds.

Freebie and the Bean (Blu-ray) Movie Lover: from GB -- June, 30, 2023

The 1970's is probably my favourite period, particularly for all the 'Cop' films. Always loved this crazy film, the 'Blu-ray' (which is 'Multi-Region' is a welcome up-grade over the DVD. Recommended.
