Paul Haggis film

Hello,

I'd like to know if an apostrophy must be used in a phrase like 'Paul Haggis film'. See the sentence below. Thank you.

Dillon recently displayed his versatility with an arresting performance co-starring as a racist cop in the critically acclaimed Paul Haggis film 'CRASH'.

An apostrophe is not needed here. "Paul Haggis" functions as an attributive noun, as "Hollywood" in "Hollywood film", or "car" in "car door".
