The tale of NYC cop "Popeye" Doyle and his partner, "Cloudy" Russo. One day, they stumble upon a huge shipment of heroin from France. The trail leads to notorious drug kingpin, Alain Charnier. [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Car chases ensue.]] A huge success and a classic piece of seventies Hollywood cinema. The film made a star of [[Gene Hackman]] and also starred [[Jaws (film)|Roy Scheider]]. Based on the true story of the two cops who would stop the drug trafficking between France and the US, it was a huge success, both financially and critically. The film won many [[Academy Awards]], for Best Actor (Hackman), Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. Thus it would come close to winning the five big, but lacked a female main character. It also won for editing and the car-chase alone is worth it. |
