The Connection's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"A epic procedural whose complicated narrative is driven by visceral action sequences and an unusually exciting soundtrack."
New York Post
"An acceptable French tribute to the epic American crime".
New York Post
A passable French homage to the American crime epic, 'The Connection' has plenty of visual style to go with stock characters.
The Washington Post
The action is intermittent, but a steady tension keeps things interesting. And the movie has a perfectly retro feel.
Los Angeles Times
"Despite the vulgar script, Dujardin and Lellouche are magnetic performers easily slip into their antagonists roles".
Cinemanía
"The very seventies original logo by Gaumont in the moment the curtain opens, a trick that acts as perfect cupcake to hypnotize viewers during the rest following 135 minutes."
Fotogramas
"Conexión Marsella seems to have been conceived and (excellent) embodied on the screen to resurrect the soul of that unforgettable Frenchman Henri Verneuil noir or Jose Gioanni".
The Playlist
The film wends its way through every single gangster/crime flick trope in the book.
