New York narcotics detective Popeye Doyle follows the trail of the French connection smuggling ring to France where he teams up with the gendarmes to hunt down the ringleader.
The masterpiece that “The French Connection” was and still is, never needed a sequel. “The French Connection” and its mysterious ending were fine as it was. “French Connection II” focuses on ‘Popeye’ Doyle who takes revenge on the drug smuggler Alain Charnier, not in New York this time but Marseille, France. It’s unnecessary all but still this movie is a very good one!
Although the visual style is pretty much similar as in “The French Connection” the movie here relies more on a faster pace and also has just a bit more action, thanks to action specialist director John Frankenheimer. The atmosphere however is not as good, simply because Marseille, although it has its charm, simply ain’t no New York.
I also really missed ‘Cloudy’ Russo in this movie. Sure, ‘Popeye’ Doyle’s character is strong enough to carry the entire movie but he just ain’t the same without ‘Cloudy’ by his side.
There are more than enough good moments that make up for these losses, the ending for example is really brilliant and I absolutely loved it!
Once you’ve seen “The French Connection” this isn’t really a must see but nevertheless, it’s a very good movie and perfectly watchable.
