Tough narcotics detective 'Popeye' Doyle is in hot pursuit of a suave French drug dealer who may be the key to a huge heroin-smuggling operation.
A jagged, unpredictable energy fuels this relentless hunt through the unwashed streets of 1970s Brooklyn. The frenetic car chases feel dangerously real, capturing a raw sense of urban chaos that few modern thrillers can replicate.
