    Genialer Streifen im damals noch total herunter gekommenen New York.Gene Hackman in noch jüngeren Jahren in Top Form.Wer genau hinsieht entdeckt das World Trade Center in seiner Bauphase.

    Was für ein Film, genial! Die Blu Ray hat zwar in 2-3 Szenen sehr viel Bildrauschen, aber sonst alles sehr gut!

  • Hackman und Friedkin in Perfektion.

    dass ich den Film erst jetzt gesehen habe, ist ja ein Armutszeugnis. 1971 abgedreht, dient der Film als Grundlage für jeden weiteren Buddy-Movie (zB Lethal Weapon)... Kult!

    Das Ganze tohuwabohu um diesen Film ist viel zu übertrieben. Für diese Zeit sicher kein schlechter Film, heutzutage würde ihm jedoch kaum noch Beachtung geschenkt werden.

  • Dreckig und gemein

    So gehts in The French Connection zu und her. Ein gnadenloser und realistischer Thriller im Brooklyn der 70er Jahre. Beeindruckene Performances von Hackman und Co.
