The Seven-Ups description The Seven-Ups of the title are a hot-dogging special unit of the New York Police Department led by street smart Roy Scheider, who applies unconventional techniques to crack tough cases and nab untouchable criminals. When a pair of police impersonators pulls a series of mob kidnappings, the local hoods get very nervous and Scheider's boys investigate, leading to a squad member's death that turns the case personal. Director Philip D'Antoni previously produced Bullitt and The French Connection and learned the importance of a good car chase: with craftsmanlike efficiency he delivers a textbook example of the inner-city chase, lacking style but chock full of squealing tires, careening cars, fleeing pedestrians, and dynamite crackups. The New York City street shooting and the ever-present street sounds give the film a solid sense of place, and Scheider applies his usual thoughtful intensity as the vengeful cop, but the rest of the cops are woefully undeveloped. Only Tony LoBianco, as Scheider's childhood buddy turned hustler and street snitch, has any real presence next to Scheider. In the pantheon of '70s cop thrillers, The Seven-Ups ranks below the more vigorous and ambiguous classics like Serpico and The French Connection, but excellent stunt work and gritty action raises it above the pack. --Sean Axmaker |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Do you qualify for Seven-Up? |
| That's the objective of an elite group of NYC detectives called the Seven-Ups; to seek,capture and send crooks to the big house for 7 years or more. Playing out somewhat more like a TV movie than the theatrical release it was, the Seven-Ups suffers a simple plot with action that at times plods a little.However, on the bright side the Seven-Ups is sprinkled with car chases, the groups attempts to avenge a colleagues murder and about two-thirds through the movie we're treated to a testosterone induced, V8 drenched car chase that'll not only raise the excitement factor but make you slack-jawed when you see how it ends! No air bags in 1973! Combining a cool but intense performance from Roy Scheider in this cop action vehicle, the Seven-Ups provides us with a decent movie worth the low price of admission from Amazon! | |
