Databased on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Grade: A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Director: C\u00e9dric Jimenez<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Screenwriter: C\u00e9dric Jimenez, Audrey Diwan<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Cast:\u00a0 Jean Dujardin, Gilles Lelloche, C\u00e9line Salette, M\u00e9lanie Doutey, Beno\u00eet Magimel<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Screened at: Review 2, NYC, 4\/29\/15<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Opens:\u00a0 May 15, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason that users of illegal drugs are penalized for purchasing heroin, cocaine, and crack.\u00a0 If there were no users, there would be no distributors. The market would dry up, and the narcotics problem would go away.\u00a0 Here in the U.S. we have to face the fact that our users are responsible for the anarchy in Mexico, for the deaths of 60,000 in drug wars south of the border, as the vast majority of drugs from there find their way here.\u00a0 Ditto France.\u00a0 According to C\u00e9dric Jirmenez\u2019s \u201cThe Connection,\u201d known as \u201cLa French\u201d in the original title, every so often a single drug lord in Marseilles gets an order for one hundred kilos of cocaine or heroin, which he arranges to ship to New York inside a truck carrying a sign for an ordinary corporation.\u00a0 Because of this, the French government and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration work together. We have our agents in Marseilles, they travel now and then to New York.<\/p>\n<p>However, again according to \u201cThe Connection\u201d which is loosely based on a true story taking place in the mid-1970\u2019s (the time of \u201cThe French Connection\u201d which starred Gene Hackman), many officials in southern France including the mayor of the city and a newly elected minister may be on the take and do not go after the criminals with vigor.\u00a0 The job of nailing the bad guys falls to the leader of a French enforcement division, Pierre Michel (Jean Dujardin), known as the magistrate.\u00a0 Despite pressure from home, from his wife who complains that she does not like to be alone and does not think her husband is sharing in the upbringing of their two young daughters, Pierre Michel deserves the title of \u201cmad dog\u201d that the drug kingpins give to him.\u00a0 He is tenacious on many levels, not only orchestrating drug raids and making solid arrests but getting the arrested criminals to confess to their crimes and to name others, even testifying against Ga\u00ebtan \u201cTany\u201d Zampa (Gilles Lellouche), a man so ferocious that nobody appears willing to rat him out.\u00a0\u00a0 Zampa is a Neapolitan who speaks fluent French and Italian, working out of France\u2019s leading southern city. He is Pierre\u2019s number one target, but so far, nobody is able to pin anything on him.\u00a0 Jimenez, whose short r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes the political thriller \u201cAux yeus de tous\u201d in 2012, knocks out a terrific thriller once again belying his relative lack of experience in the director\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n<p>It helps that he is using Jean Dujardin, who is working against type as the tough, unyielding magistrate, a performer whose title role in George Valentin\u2019s silent film \u201cThe Artist\u201d is a gem of comedy in which a Jack Russell terrier stole the show right from under Dujardin.\u00a0 Dujardin delivers a spellingbinding performance as a man who must make a decision: whether to ensure the safety of his wife and two daughters by phoning in his job as a magistrate, or to risk sacrificing the devotion of the three by being a pit bull in pursuing his nemesis.\u00a0 The film\u2019s highlight is a two-hander, a dialogue between the magistrate and the drug king in an desolate spot on the road as thought the two are leading generals in battle who get to know each other, then retreat back to their own lines to fight to the death.<\/p>\n<p>Laurent Tangy juggles his hand-held camera, making director Jimenez look really good, while the two leading actors, both with granite faces and rigid agendas, keep the action riveting.\u00a0 If \u201cThe Connection\u201d reminds you of \u201cThe French Connection,\u201d that is because it deals with the same story except that this one concentrates in Marseilles rather than New York.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated R.\u00a0 135 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall \u2013 A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tcnn.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tcnn.jpg\" alt=\"tcnn\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tcnn.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tcnn-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE CONNECTION (La French) Drafthouse Films Reviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya.
