The French Connection

The French Connection

A slick cop movie, based on true story with short tight run. The famous car chase scene was too good considering the fact that the movie was shot in the old time year 1971. Gene Hackman with help of Roy 'Jaws' Schieder busts a drug ring headed by a bearded Frenchman. Movie was picturised realistically. It never bores and runs quite a gripping race. Gene Hackman made me feel the anger burst inside Popeye Doyle. Director has tried to capture life on the street and he often used footage of people on the street and locations. Most of the film is made up of characters simply watching and following each other. The first couple of scenes in the movie are contrastingly amazing, one in France and the other in US. Overall, a fast pace, intense, gripping raw thriller not to be missed.
