The original Bon Cop Bad Cop was good buddy cop flick that had a fresh-ish take by going after Canadian bilingualism and the Quebec/Canada political/cultural schism. I think Bon Cop Bad Cop 2 is better. We're done with the introductions and we pick up a few years later, the characters' stories having advanced logically and placed them once more in a position to work together. It's still a clash of styles, but also a warm friendship there, and the new story provides plenty of laughs AND touching moments. The funniest bits are probably when they have to cross over into Maine, a hilarious send-up of American attitudes towards Canada and today's border paranoia. Don't take it personally, Yanks ;-). As far as the cop plot goes, there are actually enough twists on the usual formula to keep the more jaded among us entertained, and the humor helps us swallow the silly plot hole at the heart of the criminals' plot. Let me know if this is as fun when you have to read subtitles about half the time. 6 years 11 months ago
