The French Connection (1971) review / dir. William Friedkin

The gang plays the anti hero this week as they review the movie that changed the standard for Car Chase Scenes... The French Connection. Based on a book of the same name, TFC follows two NYPD drug unit detectives as they try to intercept a huge heroin shipment coming into the US through a corrupt French business man. This film won best picture, best actor, and best supporting actor at the Oscars, and has what is universally considered the grand daddy of all chase scene... but did the gang enjoy it?
