John Frankenheimer's ("The Manchurian Candidate") version outshines William Friedkin's 1971 original.

If you take away comparisons with the original, it's a reasonably solid, if flawed, crime thriller; but it does shrink into the shadow cast by its vastly superior predecessor.

Q Network Film Desk

you can't help but feel a sense of disillusionment ... because the finality of it is so harsh and so sudden that it draws your attention less to the idea of justice served than it does to the brute simplicity of violent retribution and the ultimately cycl

Nearly as high powered and gritty as the first 'Connection.'

Groucho Reviews

More conventional than its predecessor, but it's still unconventional by the cop thriller standard set by a wash of anonymous, lesser films. [Blu-ray]

Couldn't even hold the original film's hat, but earns points just for not sucking outright.

While it certainly is a couple of notches below its action classic original, French Connection II is still a darned good action film that maintains the core of its central character and has some added layers that are genuinely disturbing.

French Connection II, sequel or no, comes off as more of a felt work, and what I make contact with through it is a director.

Film Freak Central

The last ten minutes are the best thing about it (that final shot is one of the best of the '70s), and it's no coincidence that in this ten minutes Frankenheimer returns to his technician passions.
