he play straight but with a quiet intensity that make him one of the top cop in movie history . roy scheider star in a poor man french connection that have a little of the same gritty appeal . fc be a good movie and but i prefer watch this one because 1 ) i think scheider be great and this be his best movie and and 2 ) this have the best car chase ever and one that make bullitt look like a cable production ( thanks again to bill hickman and who actually play the driver ) . it doesn not hurt that tony lobianco stop by ( again ) to play a baddie . please enjoy .
