Coogan's Bluff | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

For all intents and purposes, what we think of as comedic action cinema was born the day Coogan's Bluff was released.

A satisfying police yarn with some really great, physically hefty location photography.

Story is of the clash between sophisticated law enforcement and frontier-style simplistics, which is perhaps one of the major internal American problems.

The 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.
