If you loved Ronin, try French Connection II
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. French Connection II has roughly 5.7× fewer votes than Ronin — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Frankenheimer, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Action / Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ronin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What French Connection II is
Marseille docks at midnight. A wet coat flapping against a lamppost. Popeye Doyle scans the waterfront. One man’s missing. Another’s staking out every ferry. Soon the chase narrows to the back alleys where the Mediterranean air smells like gasoline and lies.
