Mike Stone (Karl Malden) and Steve Keller (Michael Douglas) are back on today's streets to catch a homicidal maniac who should have been incarcerated thirty years ago. The famous police drama of the 70s in today's Google Street View. A found footage movie exclusively using Google imagery (Street View, Earth & Maps) and audio material from the original series 'The Streets of San Francisco'.

Just perfect...
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
"The Streets of the Invisibles" is a 10-minute short film from 2011, so has its 5th anniversary this year. The director is Remo Rauscher and I m not too sure if I would even say "director". The entire film consists of recording from Google technologies, such as StreetView. This content is mixed with the voices of Oscar winners Karl Malden and Michael Douglas from their collaboration on "The Streets of San Francisco". This is actually not too bad of an idea for a concept, but it really is just the material for a one-minute commercial for Google and not for a stand-alone film. Apart from that, it felt so random to me how they chose what we hear the same time we see certain things. There was almost no connection at all for me. Here on IMDb, it says this is Malden's final acting role. But as he had already been dead for over two years when this came out and as it's all old audio footage, I would not say it is a Malden film. I am also not surprised Rauscher does not have a career at all anymore as this is a really weak achievement we have here, even you can even call it that. Major thumbs-down and I don't recommend seeing it.
