The Connection

A more sober exploration of this world would have been more effective in making this case to the skeptics-the very people who need to be convinced if this kind of more holistic thinking is to make inroads into the public at large.

The movie's strength is in its conception of Michel and Zampa, who develop a destructive rivalry, rooted in their mutual determination to prove their superiority.

A byzantine, if ultimately conventional, heroic tale that feels like a guided tour down a familiar alley.

Features another superb performance from Jean Dujardin.
