Review of The French Connection (1971) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 29 Nov 2015
This 1971 thriller about a heroin bust is solid, slick filmmaking, full of dirty cops, shrewd operators, and slam-bang action. Friedkin's close study of Raoul Walsh pays off in the justly celebrated chase sequence.
