Two cops are tracking down the source of hot money that is being passed that came from a robbery murder. They eventually find the man and the money--after a high speed chase that ends in the murderers death in a deserted area. One of the cops decides to help himself to $80,000 of the money as he has a new girl friend with expensive tastes. Unfortunately his partner gets scruples.
The police department suspects something and launches a sting. In the denouement the bad cop is killed and all ends well.
A film noir I suppose but with the typical Hollywood moral ending.
I saw the sting a mile away...this is no where as good a movie as Charlie Varrick which Don Siegel made in 1973. It is however tight and well executed but the story is not full of fun unexpected twists and turns. Disappointment.
It still gets a 6 as is very watchable but just average writing. Watch Charlie Varrick it is so much better.
