1971 | DCP | US | D: William Friedkin
Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle (Gene Hackman) sets a new standard for the archetypal jaded cop, as he tries to outsmart French drug kingpin Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey). William Friedkin’s Oscar-winning, action-packed thriller redefined the crime genre with its dynamic editing, moral ambiguity, and an iconic car chase that still rattles nerves.
‘The French Connection is a knockout police thriller with so much jarring excitement that it almost calls for comic-book expletives. POW! ZOWIE!’ – Time
