SnoopyStyle 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.
hn_zu-834-804827 Indeed the best movie ever! I never seen any comedy film as sophisticated and creative as this one. The linguistic comedy is excellent, and also add a new variety as opposed to the usual English lame jokes found in comedy films nowadays. The acting of the two primary roles is well performed, almost flawlessly. Furthermore, the storyline is well planned and is executed with careful precision by the actors. Simply put, the film is an excellent blend of thriller and comedy in which the two genres don't discredit the film while running simultaneously. This movie is the watershed for Canadian films in the future.On a side note, I suggest Canada should make its own Hollywood (pioneered by Canadians (do some research)), but this time in Canada. This new Hollywood should be the centre of high quality movies (in terms of plot, acting, setting, etc) in which Bon Cop Bad Cop is the epitome of platinum standard movies.A must watch movie for people from anywhere across the globe!
kluseba This movie is probably the best action comedy movie that the Quebecker and Canadian cinema has ever seen! While some other Canadian movies have too much of a regional charming and too many inside jokes that may not convince spectators from other countries, this movie has everything to become a world success. I've presented the movie to my parents, some European friends, some Canadian friends and a part of one guy who was a little bit upset about the violence and sex content of the movie, everyone just loved it and even the critical guy was laughing quite a lot during some parts of the movie.The story is nothing really extraordinary or innovating: A strange tattoo killer searches revenge for people who have sold Canadian ice hockey teams or famous Canadian hockey players to American managers, cities or teams as it happened for example in the real life with the Nordiques de Québec who became the Colorado Avalanches. A first dead body is found exactly on a giant road sign on the frontier between the French-Canadian state Quebec and the English state Ontario. That's why Colm Feore, who incorporates a more serious, down-to-earth and somehow uncool police officer from Toronto and Patrick Huard, who plays an emotionally driven and somehow crazy and naive cop from Montreal, have to collaborate together to find the killer. The two officers couldn't be more different and the movie certainly plays with a lot of clichés, but because of the two brilliant actors, there are many funny elements in the movie and the viewers learn really a lot about the French-Canadian culture and style, but also about Ontario's way of life and the conflicts and main differences between the two states. There are so many little funny scenes, without losing the main story out of sight, that this moving never gets boring. I've seen this film maybe five times and I'm still liking it and laughing a lot even though it's difficult to make me laugh and though I'm more into other movie genres. That's what makes this movie a cult movie: You must not be a fan of comedy to like it because this movie offers something to everyone: action, sex, crime, comedy, suspense, sports, cultural stuff and a good soundtrack - I'm sure that there is at least one point from this list that you may like or be interested in! And while there are a lot of hilarious moments, the movie has some real big action scenes, has a lot of suspense, some little twists caught in between some predictable events, a great showdown in the end and also a great soundtrack with great Canadian hard rock music. A apart of the two absolutely convincing main actors, there also a few other actors who have some nice cameo roles and who are giving something special and really fresh to the movie. Some really famous actors appear like the French-Canadian stand-up comedian Louis-José Houde and there also some convincing young actors who became more famous with this movie like the very charming Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse or the teen star Erik Knudsen.Because of its fresh acting, its unique cultural approach, this movie is different from the typical Hollywood blockbusters, but it's has everything you need for an entertaining movie of this genre. It's a true masterpiece for me! And by the way the best Canadian movie which I know and i Know a lot! And still by the way, it's is really great to see actors, directors and musicians from Ontario and Quebec collaborate and ridicules the clichés of each other's culture to bring those two twisted nations - French and English Canadians - closer to each other. That's why this movie is even more than just a movie - it connects people! And another good thing: Even though this was a blockbuster in Canadian cinemas, everyone accepts the uniqueness of the movie and there is no annoying sequel or remake planned at the moment!
dbborroughs When a body is found on the billboard of the border of Quebec and Ontario a cop from each province are teamed together to investigate.Amusing buddy film refuses to follow the rules of the buddy film genre and is all the better for it. Sure one cop is gruff and one neat but even though they argue they do become rapid friends because there is some sort of respect from the start. They nicely drawn characters, like everyone in this movie. These are people you really do like. The mystery isn't all that mysterious since a good number of the pieces fall into place early, but at the same time this allows for the movie to go off in its own way, with a couple of twists I didn't see coming. The action scenes are well done, and like the rest of the film don't follow the typical patterns-people get hurt and bleed. Best of all its really funny, not joke funny but humor coming out of the characters. I really like the film.There is one problem with the film, at least for a large portion of American audiences and thats half the film is in French. Its subtitled but the characters bounce back and forth between English and French freely (and even conjugate curse words). If you don't mind the on again off again titling I highly recommend this film.
