Classic cop film.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not my favorite cop film but it has classic scenes and helped start the action movie genre. Picture and sound is great for a film this old.

Gritty 70s crime

Great film, beautiful transfer, terrible cover art
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hate the cover art of this release. Even the title print of the spine is bland. I love home video artwork that honors some aspect of the original artwork used in the marketing of the film or, at the very least, attempts to represent the time in which the film was released theatrically. However, once you actually play the disc the film looks great. This seems to be the best blu-ray on the market until it receives a 4K restoration, if that were to happen. Until then, I would buy this disc. It's a great value considering the low, low price and the great work done on the transfer to 1080p.

A Strong Connection!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From start to finish this film maintained a connection with me. There have been many good police/detective crime dramas since 1971. Few if any can match the greatness of The French Connection. The car chase is still the best one ever made and at the top of its class. It looks and feels real because it was filmed in real time, minimal pre-staging, with no computer graphics. How can a great movie become greater? An impossible task it would seem if it were not for the 28-page booklet and special features. In particular: "Anatomy of a Chase Hackman on Doyle", "Franklin and Grosso Remember the Real French Connection", "Rogue Cop: The Noir Connection", and "Making the Connection: The Untold Stories of the French Connection". Realistic storytelling based on a real story.
