Product: French Connection [VHS] (1971)
Rating: 5.0
SECOND BEST ACTION FLICK OF ALL TIME
A NEW YORK DETECTIVE [GENE HACKMAN] CHASES A FRENCH DRUG RING. VERY WELL ACTED AND VERY GOOD STORY. UNLIKE OTHER ACTION FILMS, THERE ISN'T REALLY THAT MUCH ACTION. SO IN ALL ACTUALITY, IT'S NOT REALLY AN ACTION FILM. IT'S REALLY MORE OF A MYSTERY MOVIE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT IN ITS HIGHEST FORM! ROY SCHEIDER ALSO SHINES IN THIS MOVIE AS POPEYE DOYLE'S PARTNER. WATCH FOR THE CLASSIC CHASE SCENE. THIS ''ACTION'' FILM ACTUALLY WON SEVERAL OSCARS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE. A REAL CLASSIC. ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME. FOLLOWED BY A SEQUEL.
