Bah franchement on se fait un peu chier hein Même si les acteurs sont bons (en même temps Gilles Lelouche et Jean Dujardin c'est logique) le scénario me convainc pas et l'histoire est pas dingue. Peut-être que je suis con ou que j'ai décroché mais y a pas mal de noms / de scènes où on comprend pas trop qui est qui et où on est. L'aspect émotionnel du film, qui aurait pu être sympa avec la femme de Pierre Michel, est finalement pas trop réussi je trouve. Et en plus y a vraiment que des mecs c'est une folie. Jsp pourquoi mais j'ai quand même du mal à mettre moins que 5

Synopsis

Newly transferred to the bustling port city of Marseille to assist with a crackdown on organized crime, energetic young magistrate Pierre Michel is given a rapid-fire tutorial on the ins and outs of an out-of-control drug trade. Pierre's wildly ambitious mission is to take on the French Connection, a highly organized operation that controls the city's underground heroin economy and is overseen by the notorious —and reputedly untouchable— Gaetan Zampa. Fearless, determined and willing to go the distance, Pierre plunges into an underworld world of insane danger and ruthless criminals.

Community Reviews

Viewers generally appreciate 'The Connection' for its engaging storytelling and strong performances, particularly praising Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lellouche for their compelling roles. The film's portrayal of the gritty underworld of 1970s Marseille and its dynamic direction are noted highlights. However, some viewers found the plot somewhat predictable and felt the emotional depth and complexity of character relationships were lacking. The film's realistic depiction of the era and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters resonated well with the audience.

👍 Strong performances by lead actors.

👎 Some found the plot predictable.
