Editorial Review:
His new assignment seems routine: protecting a star witness for an important trial. But before the night is out, the witness lies dying and cool, no-nonsense Detective Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) won't rest until the shooters and the kingpin pulling their strings are nailed. From opening shot to closing shootout, Bullitt crackles with authenticity: San Francisco locations, crisp dialogue and to-the-letter police, hospital and morgue procedures. An Oscar winner for Best Film Editing (1968), this razor-edged thriller features one of cinema history's most memorable car chases. Buckle up and brace for unbeatable action.
Description of Bullitt [Blu-ray]:
Peter Yates's 1968 cop drama has its existentialist pretensions, but there is something seductive about its strained seriousness and Steve McQueen's intentionally stoic performance as a San Francisco police detective on the trail of a murderer. A couple of key action sequences boost the film's stature, the most memorable of which is a vertiginous car chase that Yates almost approaches as a dance. Jacqueline Bisset provides window dressing as Bullitt's girlfriend--worried about how much his job strips away his humanity--and Robert Vaughan is almost reptilian as an opportunistic politician. --Tom Keogh
Bullitt [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Cropped, and dark (blu ray) 
2009-12-08 - The image is cropped, especially on the top and sides. I don't like seeing the tops of heads cut off in every other scene. It's grotesque.
The dark areas are too dark. Much detail is gone.
I'm new to blu ray. I thought they were supposed to look better, not worse, than DVDs.
Very Poor Quality 
2009-12-01 - I have both the standard DVD and now (unfortunately) have the Blu-ray DVD. I was very disappointed in the extremely grainy picture quality on this disc. After watching the movie on Blu-ray I inserted the standard DVD and compared a few scenes. The main difference I can see on the Blu-ray copy is that some scenes appeared brighter. Even on sale for $9.99 this was a waste of money.
Since initially writing this review I have decided there is one benefit to the poor quality of this blu-ray release. It will actually save me money because I now have no desire to replace any movie in my existing collection of standard DVD's with its blu-ray counterpart. Probably not the result Warner Home Video was looking for, but what they should have expected.
1968 film, on dvd: Bullitt. 
2009-11-30 - Steve McQueen's best film, and one of the best car chases, in a film, as well.

Bullitt 
2009-11-02 - This tw- disc package is fantastic! Not only do we get to see a great movie, we also can enjoy a biography of Steve McQueen, plus a short on his influence on "Bullitt" plus another short on the techniques of movie editing.
