Not great

A movie that reminds you that it's best not to meet your hero's in real life cause you'll be disappointed

legends start somewhere

This movie is a different take on the legend that we know Steve Mcqueen well written and interesting take on his struggles.

Don Quxiote chasing his "Dragon"

McQueen was sitting outside his hanger roughly the same time this story is told. He was unshaven, unkempt, and had shaggy hair. He had not worked in a while and one of his oldest California friends arrived. Seeing McQueen, the friend said "Steve, I never thought you would end up like this"! Reportedly McQueen responded saying "What makes you think this is how I will end up"?

Indeed, from that point, he went on to make several more movies, some considered to be his best works. McQueen did not "go out" a loser, nor broke, so let's not see this very good film thinking it to be the tale of a drifting loser. No, this is McQueen in an intentional lull in his life when he chose to take a step back, re-evaluate his own priorities and do something for himself for a change.

This story is very credible, and I became a McQueen fan in the 1950's when I first saw him on local television. I am writing this review in my home...three miles from his birthplace, which I consider "bragging rights" as someone who has studied the man for a long time.

Easy to watch

The film went along at an okay pace,enough to keep you interested.Andre looked very much like Steve. It touches on his womanising with the back drop of looking for the car he drove in Bullitt.(my opinion).It showed that his love wasn't the movies but speed.I would have liked them to have shown,that he was somewhat fearless representing his country on his motorbike too in a dangerous country at the time.It showed he had a devil may care attitude to money.If I was to bet I would say first was motorbikes second was cars third was women and fourth was acting.

Oh, it could have been so good

I'm really a fan of Steve McQueen's films. Unfortunately, this biographical reappraisal of his life failed. Again and again the film tries to depict Steve's oversized coolness in elegiac images. Maybe Quentin Tarantino could have done that? The scene with the Cuban dictator Batista even seems unintentionally funny to me. The black and white look and the dialogues of this interrogation scene seem like something out of a very bad and cheap mafia movie. The numerous flashbacks and individual sequences are cut together incoherently. There is no magic and no suspense. That's really a shame, but the film is unfortunately bad!

There were two Mustangs used for the movie Bullitt. They were identically prepped for the movie by Lee Brown owner of an exotic sports car body shop in LA. Lee and his crew put matching door dings and scratches in the two cars to give it that "used" look of a car belonging to a SFPD Detective. When the film wrapped the trucking company was told to return the cars to the place where they picked them up which was Lee's body shop in LA. Lee returned from lunch one day to see two completely trashed Mustangs sitting in the parking lot of his high end body shop that specialized in Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. He called the studio and asked them to come get the cars. They offed to let him keep the cars for just a few dollars. He said he would push the cars out onto Sunset Blvd. if they did not come and get them. The studio picked them up and sold them. One car went back east and was a daily driver until it was parked in a barn and hidden away for over 30 years. The other car supposedly went to Mexico and recently turned up back in LA. Lee Brown also built the first Vector concept car and you can see him tell his "Bullitt" story in the upcoming documentary film "Vector: America's First Supercar" produced by Snow Productions.
