I like the “fish out of water” angle of “The French Connection II," but overall, the movie doesn't come close to matching the quality of its excellent predecessor. Far too many scenes end well after they should. And while Gene Hackman is still good as “Popeye” Doyle, he doesn't get all that much interesting material to work with. The interplay between Doyle and his French colleagues doesn't exactly provide much tension either. Furthermore, the change in the director's chair is also noticeable. I at least found the presentation rather boring. And even though Marseille is an interesting location, New York was much livelier in the first installment. Overall, unlike “The French Connection," this sequel is not worth a recommendation.
