THE FRENCH CONNECTION
The film
A pair of NYPD detectives in the Narcotics Bureau stumble onto a heroin smuggling ring based in Marseilles, but stopping them and capturing their leaders proves an elusive goal.
Incredible crime thriller that won multiple Oscar’s, including best picture and best actor for Hackman. Feels authentic and gritty. There’s a car chase that was filmed mostly in real traffic and is mind blowing. Rented on Prime.
