Busting (1974)
8/10
The Rotten side of the Police Institution with the forgotten Elliott Gould!!!
5 August 2020
Elliott Gould had ups and downs in his career, for me underrated actor, maybe for to be an eccentric and weird actor, a sort of ugly duckling among the majors stars, nevertheless was yawning gift man, along the seventies he made many movies as top billing, on Busting he plays a shifted cop with his partner Patrick Ferrell (Robert Black before Baretta successful series), the opening act at dental clinic with dazzling girl Jackie Faraday (Cornelia Sharp) is resounding sequence, in a bold naked scene, later they got caught her in act of prostitution, they got her appointment book with several powerful customers of Los Angeles's high society, which simply disappears from nowhere of the precinct's storage, their Chief always pushing them to withdraw the charge against the high class call girl Jack Faraday from superior orders, they know that the mobster Rizzo (Allen Garfield) is the owner of many enterprises at underworld, night clubs, massage parlor, boxing fights and of course a drugs dealer, by contrast they make Rizzo's life unbearable, hoping a proper time to grab him receiving drugs, the duo cop exposes the rotten side of the police institution at long standing tradition has been bribed by all sort of conveniences, honest cops are nudged to make worst and degrading as stake out public bathrooms, mid cult movie what amaze me deeply, an unusual picture from the forgotten Elliott Gould!!
