A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Tom Hutchinson

John Frankenheimer's sequel to The French Connection may be less believable than its predecessor, but it's still a cracking thriller. Gene Hackman reprises his Oscar-winning role as New York cop "Popeye" Doyle, who travels to Marseille in search of heroin-tsar Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey) - who escaped at the end of the previous film - only to blunder into the French operation to uncover his old adversary's drugs ring. There's a disturbing sequence that details Hackman's withdrawal after being forcibly addicted, but after that it's revenge and violence all the way.
