Gene Hackman stars along with Roy Scheider in this somewhat muddled but wildly exciting cops-and-robbers action flick. The chase scenes really could not have been better! There is a sequel to this film out there but it's not as critically acclaimed. The French Connection is certainly a must for all action lovers!
