Busting is a 1974 film. It was directed by Peter Hyams and stars Elliott Gould and Robert Blake as police officers. The film is episodic, depicting the two cops teaming on several different cases with varying degrees of success but then everything centers on them trying to bust one main criminal named "Rizzo" (Allen Garfield).
The film is also extremely cynical, strongly implying that crime does pay ... and that the biggest criminals in society are corrupt politicians and businessmen who will never be punished for their crimes. The film ends with an unusual soundtrack flash-forward. While we see Gould attempting to arrest a powerful figure who will ultimately walk free, we also hear something which hasn't happened yet: Gould's character quitting the police force and applying for a civilian job.
