Omar Sy (who is France's most famous new actor) and Laurent Lafitte play 2 cops with different styles who are put together to work on a dual district murder. This is actually a sequel to a 2012 film starring this duo, so there's some history and chemistry there. For a police action drama, the story is surprisingly retro and trite, but the humor still translates. Their conflicting attitudes and continual banter are the core of the comedy. Some of the action scenes are well done, but it's really this combo of actors that makes the film an easy watch. (In French with subtitles or dubbed into English)

It is an ode to social justice warriors, where only the black cop is good, the white cop is totally helpless. Every other white character is either and enemy or useless. The white supreamacist fascist group is the enemy; the white police commander is a bureaucrat who doesn't get her butt out the chair, even the white content producer that was supposed to acompany the great black popular cop is a totally incompetent idiot. Too bad they threw away in the trash can a formula that was sucessful in the past, with the great "Lethal Weapon" movies or the "Showtime" picture. Movies that had a racially mixed pair of cops, made the social critique when needed, and whit a plot that made the minimum sense needed for an action/comedy police film.

This is the sequel to On the Other Side of the Tracks and it feels so outdated that you would hardly believe there's a decade of separation between the two. Why it exists and why Netflix produced it's unclear, but I'm pretty sure they weren't interested in letting the audience know it's a sequel, that even the title doesn't connect the two movies. I think this film was made to ride the wave of Lupin's success and Omar Sy's presence, since that show is one the most-watched non-English series on Netflix.
