Peter Hyams first feature as director. Elliot Gould and Robert Blake are ideal as vice cops. The film has them busting a lot of people who shouldn't be in trouble with cops - prostitutes, gays. Maybe this was titillating in 1974. Or maybe it wasn't which is why this didn't do that well at the box office.
Excellent action sequences - in a market, cars. The violence is handled well. The acting is good - Gould is always good going undercover. It's episodic. But I found myself more on the side of Allen Garfield, the villain.
