DVD Town (John J. Puccio)

You might hardly notice it after listening to hours of accompanying director and star commentaries, documentaries, and deleted scene narration, but buried deep within one of the supplements, somebody finally credits the movie "Bullitt" as a forerunner ...read the complete French Connection movie review at DVD Town (John J.

The Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson)

It's hard to believe that what once passed for an action film -- like all those giant insect movies of the 50s -- was relegated to the B-movie slot, and that it was necessary for someone to create the A-list, big-budget action movie. (That most action ...read the complete French Connection movie review at The Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson)

Crazy for Cinema (Lisa Skrzyniarz)

This is one of those classic films I've been trying to see for a long time. With it's new Special Edition release onto DVD, I finally got the chance.

Si dans les premiers instants lâ��image fait craindre le pire par un grain beaucoup trop prononcÃ©, on est trÃ¨s rapidement rassurÃ© : lâ��image de French Connection est plus quâ��une rÃ©ussite. BÃ©nÃ©ficiant dâ��un transfert 16/9 magique, la dÃ©finition ...read the complete French Connection movie review at DVDRAMA

DVDRAMA

Comme son homologue zone 1, lâ��Ã©dition franÃ§aise a su conserver le grain prononcÃ© qui donne Ã French Connection son aspect documentaire. Toutefois et câ��est pour cela quâ��on lui prÃ©fÃ©rera le disque amÃ©ricain, lâ��image paraÃ®t ici plus lisse, ...read the complete French Connection movie review at DVDRAMA
