Cat and mouse films this week. William Friedkin's "The French Connection" (1971) is based on the true exploits of NYPD Detective Popeye Doyle, a street level narcotic agent who engages in a battle of wits with a French heroin smuggler. Popeye is Matt's favorite Gene Hackman character of his film career. From South Korea. "The Chaser" (2008) is about an ex-cop turned pimp, whose girls keep disappearing. He sets out to find out why and ends up in a chase for the truth that includes a gruesome serial killer and the most incompetent police force ever.
Next, drug smugglers in foreign prisons with "Midnight Express" (1978) and "Return to Paradise" (1998).
