User Comments for: French Connection II

The original French Connection is a classic, with great pacing, action and acting performances, especially from Hackman, who was far and away the better choice for the role than the other actors considered at the time. But the sequel really drags, and nothing much happens for, what seems like, most of the film. Popeye bickers with the Marseilles police chief, gets kidnapped and strung out on drugs, goes through what seems like an inordinately long recovery period on screen and then eventually closes in on the bad guy. This one could have been cut down to 90 minutes. Also, is it just me, or did Popeye seem like less of an asshole in the first film? He was a real dick here and not sympathetic at all as the "hero."
