Classic cop thriller featuring a suspenseful mood and, of course, that infamous chase scene. Popeye Doyle is a memorable character.

The action is unrelenting, and the car chase scene alone is a masterpiece in filmmaking. The French Connection set the standard for cop-themed dramas for decades to come, and it's easy to see why.

Sällan skildrades polisspaning samtidigt så hårdkokt och i en så impressionistisk anda.

Såg om Friedkins mästerliga, realistiska och gatusmarta snutthriller och den har en dokumentär ton som förhöjer upplevelsen.
