The last 35 minutes...

... makes it a film worth watching. From the point they decide to kill the cop played by Gene Hackman, the movie becomes really suspenseful and exciting. The car chase scene is pretty damn good, and Hackman is an excellent actor.

What about everything leading up to the last 35 minutes?

It was pretty sweet all the way around

I agree, such an engrossing movie.

I didn't watch this film for years. Thought it would be a run of the mill and kinda slow and boring New Hollywood film. I was wrong. It's the mother of all cops films. Not a single frame is wasted here. It is kinda slow, but never ever boring.

Slow movies are always boring

I kind of hated that part since's Gene's extremely unsubtle shadowing caused the deaths of several innocent people.
