Heard this movie had the best car chase ever. Waited for it the entire movie and at the end found out it was the scene with the train. Granted that the scene is OK, but greatest car chase ever? Not likely... Good ending to the movie but most of the time a bit dull 6/10

The French Connection is little more than surveilance work. We share in the policemen's many long scenes of following, looking at and chasing a selection of unremarkable criminals. We don't get to know any of the characters and there is nothing original about the plot. Well, at least not these days when such movie fare has been repeated to death - and mostly done far better. The subway chase sequence is well shot, but there is nothing else of interest here. Perhaps the most undeserved winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture I've ever seen.
