French Connection 1/2

French Connection 1/2 : short review

French Connection 1/2

Two Films. French Connection - Narcotics cop Popeye Doyle pits his wits against an international drugs ring attempting to infiltrate New York, despite official warnings to back off. All-time great action thriller, with a remarkable car chase below the elevated railway, which won five Oscars including Best Picture, Actor and Director of 1971. French Connection II - Critics were divided for and against this sequel which takes Popeye Doyle to Marseilles in pursuit of the drugs baron who escaped him in America. Hackman again makes the character his own and the scenes where he is forced to overdose and go cold turkey are still truly harrowing.
