Query: Too many car chases get in the way of a great plot

Plotwise, this thriller is top-notch: Simple yet tantalizing, classic yet unpredictable. The acting is also great, especially of course DeNiro, who is also given the greatest lines ("I hurt a man's feelings once..."). From the very getgo there are terrific suspense sequences, but towards the end the plot is propelled forward by countless car chases. The first one or two makes perfect sense, and in a way the third does too, but one can't help but think that Frankenheimer lets the narrative slide only to blow up more cars. Still, the wonderful finale in the ice arena makes up for anything. A great thriller AND a great action movie, even though the parts don't always harmonize.
