Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Hackman's finest
I'm not sure, but I think this may very well be Gene Hackman's finest performance. Though the storyline is somewhat weak, cinematography is superb, and direction is pretty good too. Definately an underrated film.
Rating:  - Bad Day in Marsailles
When will Hollywood learn that sequels to Oscar winning movies never "cut the mustard". The lone exception in my 59 years seems to be "The Godfather" series. The current "Jason Bourne" fad,while exciting,is not of Academy Award mettle, and threatens Matt Damon's career as a diversified actor, much like great actors of the past(see Lew Ayers, Mickey Rooney, Basil Rathbone, etc.) Back in France circa 1975, we have Gene Hackman at the height of his acting career being ...

Rating:  - The definitive movie sequel.
That the sequel was made at all was no certainty although the original left an obvious opportunity to chart the conclusion to Doyles mission in bringing Frog One (Fernando Rey) to justice.
Hackman gives an even better acting performance in this effort if that were possible but lost out in the Oscar accolades probably due to his earlier success. This time he is on his own with no Cloudy to back him up and stuck with the sometimes dubious support of the French Police.The french acting in this ... Read More
Rating:  - NOW, THIS IS WHERE MORE ACTION COULD'VE DEFINITELY HELPED
POPEYE DOYLE [GENE HACKMAN] IS BACK ONCE AGAIN IN AN ATTEMPT TO CATCH A DRUG RUNNER IN FRANCE, SINCE HE FAILED TO CATCH HIM BEFORE IN NEW YORK. SUB-PAR STORY AND WHERE THE SLOW PACE AND THE BUILDING TO THE FINALE ACTUALLY HELPED THE ORIGINAL, IT NEARLY RUINS THE SEQUEL! OF COURSE, THE FIRST FILM DIDN'T REALLY HAVE TOO MUCH ACTION, BUT, I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS SEQUEL HAD MORE ACTION, THIS COULD'VE BEEN SAVED FROM BEING MEDIOCRE. ONLY THING BENEFITTING THIS ONE IS GENE HACKMAN. OTHER THAN HIM, THERE'S ... Read More
Rating: - The Best That Could Be Matched With the Original
Considering the enigmatic ending of the Oscar-winning "The French Connection," a sequel seemed obligatory. But four years later, it's likely that no one was expecting the harrowing twist that came with the follow-up's plot.
This time directed by John Frankenheimer, gruff, foul-mouthed, brute narcotics officer Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle (Gene Hackman) travels to Marseilles, determined to stop the elusive drug kingpin Alain "Frog One" Charnier (Fernando Rey), whom he failed to stop in New York City. Once ... Read More
