A French police magistrate spends years trying to take down one of the country's most powerful drug rings.
Leave your thoughts about The Connection.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleRiveting from its first moments, "The Connection" is fascinating in its presentation of character, as well as for its glimpse into the workings of an international drug empire and into the ways an imaginative cop found to chip at its power. |
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithDujardin won an Oscar a few years ago without saying a word. He tops that performance here. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterIt creates a world and pulls you in only to remind you at the end that this warm, sunny fantasy is actually the cold, dark world called reality. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonIt's an overlong, subdued, and generally bland affair, trading Friedkin's of-the-moment urgency for stale period details and technique that borrows from Martin Scorsese and Michael Mann. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyJimenez's sprawling cat-and-mouse thriller loses momentum and focus in the homestretch, but until then its '70s sun-and-sin-on-the-Côte d'Azur vibe is electric. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiWhile the results inevitably pale in comparison to "The French Connection" — which could be said about virtually every other film currently in release — they do make for an above-average work that offers viewers a new perspective on a familiar story. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineThis is a work many cuts above the norm, with the leads resonating on several levels and supporting talent, settings and period as authentic as Marseillaise bouillabaisse. |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleThe Connection is like watching 135 minutes of homage trailers. It's like an extended cut of Spike Jonze's music video for "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA stirring performance against type by Jean Dujardin as a nails-tough magistrate helps make this a riveting police drama. |
| MLive.comJohn Serba(It) has nothing new or original to show us. But the film is a success for its clear and functional presentation of an absorbing crime story. |
