![]() Rating: - Hackman's finest I'm not sure, but I think this may very well be Gene Hackman's finest performance. Though the storyline is somewhat weak, cinematography is superb, and direction is pretty good too. Definately an underrated film. Rating: - Bad Day in MarsaillesWhen will Hollywood learn that sequels to Oscar winning movies never "cut the mustard". The lone exception in my 59 years seems to be "The Godfather" series. The current "Jason Bourne" fad,while exciting,is not of Academy Award mettle, and threatens Matt Damon's career as a diversified actor, much like great actors of the past(see Lew Ayers, Mickey Rooney, Basil Rathbone, etc.) Back in France circa 1975, we have Gene Hackman at the height of his acting career being ...

SUB-PAR STORY AND WHERE THE SLOW PACE AND THE BUILDING TO THE FINALE ACTUALLY HELPED THE ORIGINAL, IT NEARLY RUINS THE SEQUEL! OF COURSE, THE FIRST FILM DIDN'T REALLY HAVE TOO MUCH ACTION, BUT, I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS SEQUEL HAD MORE ACTION, THIS COULD'VE BEEN SAVED FROM BEING MEDIOCRE. ONLY THING BENEFITTING THIS ONE IS GENE HACKMAN. OTHER THAN HIM, THERE'S ... Read More Rating: - The Best That Could Be Matched With the OriginalConsidering the enigmatic ending of the Oscar-winning "The French Connection," a sequel seemed obligatory. But four years later, it's likely that no one was expecting the harrowing twist that came with the follow-up's plot. This time directed by John Frankenheimer, gruff, foul-mouthed, brute narcotics officer Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle (Gene Hackman) travels to Marseilles, determined to stop the elusive drug kingpin Alain "Frog One" Charnier (Fernando Rey), whom he failed to stop in New York City.
