Bon Cop Bad Cop (2013)

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A movie with two languages ... french and english. And it's mixed, so different/multiple characters speak both languages. So you have to focus on what they say if you know both languages or on the subtitles if you have issues with at least one of those. But it's ok and it works, because it does feel more alive for being that way.Speaking of more alive: we do get treated on some personal stuff of both protagonists. Some is not really necessary for the story, but it's there. And because it didn't have to be made for general audiences (it has an R rating in America), it does contain blood, profanity and even nudity. The latter is cut together in a very funny, yet sexy way. There are some bumps when it comes to the story, but the actors had so much fun with their roles, it really shines through to the audience. Enjoy this crazy ride ...

If you enjoy the police duo genre in the vein of Rush Hour and Bad Boys, you are going to love this one!Though not as "in your face" funny as Rush Hour or laden with crash scenes as Bad Boys, it nonetheless pleases on a much more subtle, homage-laden level than either of its predecessors. If you are a hockey fan, you'll enjoy the character parodies and other references. But, as hockey-impaired as I am, I loved the class of cultures the movie represented.A stand-out scene for me was when the duo meets with the Quebec M.E., "Jeff the Coroner," masterfully and hilariously played by, Louis- José Houde. I stopped the movie and replayed it just to see if I could follow the ripping medical soliloquy the actor delivers which reminded me of Jimmy Cagney in his final movie, "1,2,3."There is a sequel coming out in May of 2017 which I will not miss!

Martin Ward (Colm Feore) is a straight laced cop from Toronto. David Bouchard (Patrick Huard) is a rough and tumble cop from Montreal. A dead body is found on top of the sign splitting the provinces. Neither guy wants the case, but they both have to solve the case together. They soon figured that the body was drop from a helicopter, and he was killed by a serial killer called The Tattoo Killer.There are some passable jokes. They start off annoyed with each other, but their common cause slowly brings the two together. There is something about subtitles that makes jokes less funny. Reading a joke is completely different than experiencing a joke. Aside from the dual language nature of the movie, this is a standard police drama and a buddy cop film here. Although I wish they didn't push the color so far to the blue/green spectrum.

Quebeckers seems to love this movie... I guess because they get the cool guy in the flick.... however the plot, acting and pretty much everything else is third rate. I was expecting a deeper perspective on the whole Quebec/Ontario situation and Canadian culture in general but all you get is over the top stereotypical characters and really lame jokes.Canadians are so desperate for bilingualism and the whole Quebec in Canada thing to succeed they will laud even the most pathetic of movies that has a semblance of us "all just getting along"It seems we're doomed from getting a successful bilingual commercial movie that happens not to suck.
