THE GIST: Two NYPD narcotics detectives stumble upon some suspicious activity that leads them to one of the largest drug smuggling operations in the city; it even comes with a French connection.A classic of Hollywood cinema, The French Connection stars Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider, as the two cops, and Fernando Rey, as the suave French businessman secretly dealing in drugs.
The movie is particularly famous for the breathtaking camera work that went into recording one of the most daring and thrilling car chases in the history of cinema, courtesy of director William Friedkin.
THE BOTTOM LINE: If you are a cinephile, this movie is pretty much a must-see, but I'd recommend it to all crime and action junkies out there as well.
Grade: 8
