Inspired by and informed by a real-life drug-ring-busting NYC cop, this 1971 police procedural won five academy awards for its atmospheric story of cops staking-out, shadowing and gun-battling with drug-smuggling bad guys and features Gene Hackman and Rob Schneider as the dogged cops, the N-word as its conspicuous self, and fluorescent red paint standing in as blood spill.

★★★☆☆
