Leave your thoughts about Coogan's Bluff.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe film is like a cousin to the Western genre, with Coogan keeping his trap shut and his emotions to himself, but Siegel, with his expert craftsmanship, brisk pacing and exciting action, gives us plenty of other stuff to concentrate on. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergEastwood moves from country to city ... with predictably entertaining results. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanNew York cop thriller with a touch of the Westerna and a touch of the Eastwood...and all the better for it. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis urban Western, the first collaboration with Don Siegel, is a significant transitional film in Eastwood's career and screen image, situated between his 1960s Spaghetti Westerns and the Dirty Harry film series of the 1970s. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonA satisfying police yarn with some really great, physically hefty location photography. |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerEastwood's performance as the flawed, headstrong superman has been terribly underrated, but he brings to the part of Coogan a sure knowledge of the man's obvious strengths and not so obvious failings. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaA subtrama romântica é dispensável e J. Cobb é desperdiçado pelo filme. Ainda assim, Eastwood transforma o lacônico Coogan em um personagem interessante nesta sua primeira parceria com Siegel. |
| User Reviewdelysid doh yeah this is one of clint eastwood's most badass movies, love the psychedelic 60s scenes |
| User ReviewLenny RBrilliant action thriller starring Clint Eastwood and directed by Don Siegel. Clint's character Coogan is basically Dirty Harry wearing a cowboy hat, very good film. |
