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.

Not such a memorable movie to me, although I really like the vigilance scenes and the performance of the two cops.
3.5/5

I normally love gritty crime films from the 70s, but this one is really disappointing for me. If you're considering renting this tonight, consider instead checking out The Conversation.

For the first half an hour I had very little idea what was going on.

Drags a little and you have to get used to some of the language they got away with in the early seventies. Also, there is A LOT of stakeout and following people around quietly for long stretches of the film.

Otherwise a good movie, will be checking out the sequel.

This might as well have been a new world picture.

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

90% of the movie is the cops chasing the bad guys so if you love the chase you're gonna love this movie!

Quite a slow paced film, but still very enjoyable.
