	A GEM - Scores 5/5 The French Connection is a 1970's American crime thriller film starring Gene Hackman and Roy Schneider. The two cops get involved in a series of events that eventually lead to the uncovering of one of the biggest ever narcotics smuggling attempt. The casual cop from New York "Popeye" Doyle and his partner Russo form an extraordinary team. They live casually and often go out together. One late evening they follow up the trail of a curious couple only to find out that in spite of their extravaganza night life they are the moderate owners of a cafe under disguise. They suspect foul play yet can not find any clue. After their superiors have given up on them the incidents begin to unfold. The film is set on various places in New York and South France. The director William Friedkin wanted to give the audience the real deal so do not be surprised the typical street and alleys in the film. The grim scenery of the Big Apple revolves around the realistic plot of the story. The most remembered scene in the film is the famous car chase which was mathematically calculated and edited, to be rewarded by an Academy Award for Film Editing. Gene Hackman and the stunt driver Bill Hickman did a brilliant job, making the chase maybe the best ever car chase in the modern films. The scrapping of a new car suspected of carrying narcotics by the elderly police mechanic, the detection of the purity of the drug by a young drug expert-junkie and the failed chase for the capture of Alain Charnier are the moments that will stay forever in my mind. A newly but lately found gem worth watching over and over again. REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 07 JULY 2010

	BELIEVE THE HYPE .... EXCELLENT THRILLER - Scores 5/5 I knew this movie came with a BIG reputation as being one of the best to come out of the 70s movie era , so with that thought in mind - I sat down recently to watch it , I thought it was fasntastic & REALLY LIVED UP TO THE HYPE Made in the very early 70s it has a terrific real life feel to it with its documentary like style , terrific casting - SCHEIDER & HACKMAN make a great pair of believeable tough guy lawmen , HACKMAN in particular really shines as determined NY NARCOTICS cop POPEYE DOYLE , the rest of the cast also put in stellar performances in this suspence filled movie , I am not a big fan of car chase scenes in movies, infact when I hear that line - THERES A GREAT CAR CHASE - it usualy puts me of watching the movie in question , I think thats why its took me so long to see this movie , BUT this car chase really held my attention as it flicks back and fourth from car to train - its filled with some of the most suspenceful scenes in the film. FULL OF SUSPENCE ,GREAT STORY , GREAT ACTING , GREAT ENDING ......BUY IT & CHECK IT OUT REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 10 JANUARY 2010
	FREIDKIN HAS LOST HIS MIND - Scores 1/5 Does he really think this is the best way to view this movie. Even the 27 year old Magnetic VHS copy i still have of this film is of better "quality". The director of photography was correct in saying this BLU-RAY is not the film he shot. This blu-ray version is fuzzy and dark and really hard on the eyes. Save your money and buy the DVD produced a few years ago, as its prefectly acceptable. REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 23 NOVEMBER 2009
	THE FRENCH CONNECTION - SAYS IT ALL REALLY... - Scores 5/5 Timeless and significant pieces of cinema. An excellent price for an even heightened product of epic proportions. I love The French Connection which is a safe statement to make as it's a general certainty that the film will forever be etched in history as one of the greatest. However I love THE SEQUEL just a little bit more and feel it is the superior film - either way I can't go wrong and nor can any movie lover. REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS ON 13 NOVEMBER 2009
