Busting (1973)
Director: Peter Hyams
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Slick and often witty cop thriller, with Gould and Blake in fine form as the vice-squad detectives going it alone in the face of apathy and corruption among their superiors in their attempts to clean up LA. Cynical and rather too determinedly hip, it nevertheless entertains - thanks to some good action sequences and firm control of atmosphere - and, as Hyams' first feature, presages the delights to come in Capricorn One and Outland.Author: GA
