Busting

Two Los Angeles vice-squad cops defy orders to lay low on a local mobster, employing unorthodox methods to achieve results in a gritty 1970s crime-drama. Elliott Gould shines in his role as Det. Michael Keneely, while Robert Blake delivers a strong performance as his partner Det. Patrick Farrell. The film's investigation is undermined by police corruption and the influence of a local crime boss, leading to a thrilling ambulance chase sequence at its end. Despite its flaws, "Busting" remains an intriguing look at the darker side of law enforcement.
