"When bad boy police officer Ousmane is involved in a car accident, he is mistaken for the assailant by his fellow police officers. The next day, the wife of a business mogul turns up nearby Ousmane's housing project. Ousmane draws connections between the two crimes and believes is able to solve both crimes. In order to be heard by fellow police officers, Ousmane is forced to team up with visiting Parisian investigator Francois Monge, who has much more departmental clout. Despite coming from and working in very different neighborhoods, the pair find common ground through their policing style, including manhandling suspects and kicking butt."
One of the better buddy cop films that I have seen but it fails to be all that good. I enjoyed Omar Sy's performance but it seemed a bit cliché and somewhat annoying at times. While I found Laurent Lafitte's performance to be okay but it was kind of bland. The film was kind of short but it still managed to use its time well. There's not a ton of action so don't go expecting an American buddy cop film but what it lacks in action there is comedy. The comedy wasn't stale it was quite enjoyable, you can determine the characters motives and personality types by the way they tell jokes. I suggest this film to those that like buddy cop films.
2/5
