Bon Cop Bad Cop

Oh hey, it's my favourite Canadian movie. Who doesn't stan a movie that's 50/50 French and English?

The story itself is standard partner-detective stuff, but the comedic chemistry between the two leads is what makes this movie so enjoyable. Throw in the funniest coroner I've ever seen in a cop show, and this is among my favorite comedies... :-)

Shoot First Translate Later 1


A meant-to-be comedical crime thriller. Can it uphold that promise? I think the movie suffered from a cringy villain, and being more bloody than appropiate for the tone it wants to set, which is simply put, not horror or bloody shocking crimes.
The switching around dub was confusing for one, and for second, a tad bit tiring to read subs then (albeit that was still OK). This also means you can watch it on a kinda small to medium screen distanced on the bed or something.

For the more bright side, I really enjoyed the rivaly between both protagonists, albeit I'd have wished that would have lasted until the end instead of stopping in-between.

Be Like: Protect and Serve (with PaS being less bloody, but having some really, really weird naked scenes)


1 I want to note that weirdly, on Netflix this was misguidingly labeled as "Good Cop, Bad Cop - Shoot first, ask questions later". Don't ask me.
