Premise
Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider star in William Friedkin's masterpiece about two New York cops who take down a French drug smuggling ring.
Loved
The climactic chase.
Thoughts
Even after all these years, it still easily holds the title of "greatest car chase scene ever". To this day, I still remember how exhilarating and memorable that climax was. If I recall, the rest of the film played out like a character study with a documentary style, with cool performances by Hackman and Scheider.
What I would change
No idea.
