Directed by William Friedkin | 1971
With Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider, Fernando Rey
"Solid, slick filmmaking, full of dirty cops, shrewd operators, and slam-bang action."
—Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
William Friedkin’s gritty cat-and-mouse masterpiece is as tough as police thrillers come, with Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider as a pair of flawed yet dedicated cops out to intercept a huge heroin shipment arriving from France. Their pursuit of urban kingpin Alain Charnier (Rey) leads to one of the most spectacular car chase scenes (shot in Brooklyn, along 86th Street and Utrecht Avenue) ever filmed.
