Bon Cop Bad Cop is ye olde buddy cop movie with a Canadian twist - the good cop is a by-the-book Anglophone from Ontario (Colm Feore), and the bad cop is an unkempt, foul-mouthed Quebecois (Patrick Huard). When a corpse is found straddling the two provinces' border, they are assigned to the same case and hilarity ensues. No really, there's some good comedy to be had with the two official languages' tradition enmity, and the action set pieces are Hollywood quality, unusual for a Canadian film. And for extra Canadiana, the case focuses on a hockey-obsessed serial killer. The cop plot is the weakest part of the film, and doesn't bear close examination without the holes showing through. The strength of the piece is definitely in its characters and their families, which made me long for an epilogue at the end just so we could see the latter again. My copy had subtitles over the French, which wasn't necessary. I imagine you can find the reverse in Quebec, don't know if you can a clean print for us bilinguals. So it's Canadian Bad Boys with an extra helping of heart. 8 years 9 months ago
