Product: French Connection [VHS] (1971)
Rating: 5.0
Hackman is at his best!
Both Oscars won by Hackman were for portraying brutal & arrogant individuals. Popeye Doyle is the persona of the 70's cop, ruthless, determined, bold. It was a well made film that I love watching over and over again. Many of the scenes were done in my old Brooklyn neighborhood, especially the begining scene which I so remember being in (Bedford-Stuyvesant). It is New York through and through.
