Review of The French Connection (1971) by Mark A — 13 Jun 2009
Very disappointed! I've heard so many positive things about this film, and I wouldn't even put it in the top cop movies of the 70's let along ever. I'm also very disappointed that it won any academy awards.
I can see why Hackman was nominated but he should have lost to a certain other nominee. This shouldn't have won the Oscar for Best Picture, Directing, or Writing. I can see the argument for winning best editing, but I don't know if it should have won.
Overrated.
