Review of The French Connection (1971) by Kim B — 18 Jun 2015
When this film first came out I was too young to see it because it was rated R. I heard for a long time that this gritty crime drama was really good and it's Gene Hackman's break out role as an overzealous narcotics detective.
There are a lot of scenes of police brutality. It also starred Roy Scheider, one of my favorite actors, who plays Hackman's partner. Together they relentlessly go after a French drug dealer. The scenes of late 1960s and early 1970s New York made me nostalgic because I grew up in New York during that time.
