Review of The French Connection (1971) by Dylan M — 29 Mar 2016
The French Connection stars Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider as two narcotic police officers on the hunt for a heroin dealer who has been recently dealing in New York City. I really enjoyed this movie. Just the overall tone of the film and how it was made in the 70s already beings a different vibe while viewing.
The direction in the film is very well done. William Friedkin captures the realistic setting extremely well that it sets up for a solid crime thriller. The pace is surprisingly fast also. Along with the fascinating story, we are given pristine action sequences, intriguing dialogue, great performances.
Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider are so fun to watch. Their characters are bitter. gritty, and high spirited. The French Connection comes as basic as it gets and that's all this film needed.
