Movie Review - The French Connection

The French Connection:
The French Connection has been called so often times the movie which laid the rules for the upcoming cop flicks. And this is the biggest problem for this movie. This is the kind of movie on the guidelines of which other movies are made and hence the concept becomes so obsolete that when you watch the original stuff there is actually no originality left. However, it has got the drawback of not being able to be movie which keeps you itact with you seat. Even 'Godfather' is the movie one of its kind, based on which innumerous mafia movies were made later on, but Godfather still keeps its originality intact; It has got the charm which makes you want to see it again and again forgetting about all the mafia movies you might have seen within the years. This lacks in The French Connection. After having seen so many cop flick with different chase sequences what this movie offers is mere flow of various events. Action is present in the form of chase sequences which an average audience sees a dozen of times a year. That freshness of 'new concept' is gone and when it comes to story there is nothing much to speak about. The director has not made any effort to make the movie look different; as i said its just the flow of some seequences which comprise the movie. This is because of these reasons that this movie is not for the audience of today. It fails to charm you and you might get bored in just the beginning half an hour of the movie. There are no gripping dialogues, no face to face combats. Its all about the chase. Not recommended if you can't sit through a movie just for the name of it being a classic movie; there is not much of an entertainment left in it.

My Rating: 7.00/10.00
