The second this movie started I felt like it was trying too hard to be like Rush Hour. The plot is kinda similar but it's not even coming close to Jackie Chan's Movie. Omar is funny and there are a few good lines in this movie but overall it's just missing something. No big laughter just a few chuckles and the action scenes well I don't know what to say.. they were french.

buddy cop film..good mix of plot & comedy
ksf-26 May 2023
Subtitles for the scenes in paris. Le Flic de Belleville, known as Belleville Cop in some countries stars luiz guzman and omar sy. Officer baaba bouchard arrives from paris to work with miami detective garcia on a case. Killers have run off to america, and seem to be hiding within a non profit foundation. Garcia has his own, slow methods that don't seem to be getting anywhere. So when bouchard goes off on his own, he gets into trouble. But clearly he is irritating the bad guys, while slowly getting bits of the puzzle together. In a side plot, bouchard has brought his mother along to the states, and she's always finding adventures. Can the unlikely partners get through this investigation alive? It's good! A really good mix of serious story and light, fluffy ribbing and misunderstandings between the cops. Like a good buddy buddy cop film. Funnier than I expected. Directed by rachid bouchareb... he has won numerous film fest awards for his films.
six and that's because of my favorite state

Low-budget misery
alexvanherk12 November 2021
Don't know where to begin.... No chemistry between actors, poor dialogues, pointless scenes, poor plot. It looks like every scene has been shot in one take. The jokes have been written bij 8 year old's. This should be the end of Omar Sy's career, but Lupin saved his ass, It think. What about the story? There is no story, all the characters are one dimensial. This movie is a shame to cinema. I have seen the whole movie. Pure torture.
Low budget movie made with love

I was unaware of this Omar Sy movie and watched it with pleasure on Netflix. You can clearly see that the movie was made with a low budget. You can also see that the movie was made with love. That combination warrants my rating of 7.
Incredibly Bad!

Poor acting, no sense of comic rythm, the whole movie is a collection of every possible cliché. intended as a reference to Eddy Murphy's classic Beverly Hills Cop series, it's closer to the lousiest french comedies. Run.
Disappointment

The New Eddie Murphy?
abates-0498528 December 2022
This movie was good. It reminded me of Beverly Hills Cop. This French Actor has a lot of camera charisma. Just like Eddie Murphy did, in his youth. Even the laugh is seductive. Very happy and strong vibes from the French actor. He made the movie. The other actor that played the detective was good too. But his character was not as relaxed as the French actor's role. I miss those light hearted movies of the 80's. My generation. This movie was a nice, wink, to those movies of the 89's. The French mom was hilarious. That would be me. The plot was readily made and the violence was minimal. Well done with the action scenes.
Likeable multi-lingual buddy cop movie
middlefarne12 March 2023
Better than anticipated, and better than the reviews suggest, this is an odd couple / buddy cop movie, a little old-fashioned, but with enjoyable performances from Omar Sy and Luis Guzmán. It has the same plot and structure as a Jackie Chan film, or indeed Beverly Hills Cop. It's a little slow to get going, and flabby in parts, but Sy has the charm and presence to carry the leading role. The easy switching between French, Spanish, and English is well done, but may partially explain why the film is so poorly received (unless you're comfortable in those three languages you need to read a lot of subtitles). Miami, Paris, and Colombia (standing in for a fictional African country) are colourful and easy on the eye. Not the worst comedy action flick on Netflix.
