Review of The French Connection (1971) by Danny R — 05 Mar 2010
A milestone realistic police drama and action-filled thriller based on a true story, sheer entertainment and gripping suspense. Gene Hackman's knockout Oscar winning performance and a great supporting cast with the late Roy Scheider a standout in a fine performance as Hackman's partner, remarkable direction by William Friedkin and exquisitely photographed by Owen Roizman.
A nail-biting climax featuring one of the best car chases ever filmed. Winner of 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture.
