Bon Cop Bad Cop 2

A very good movie that is maybe just tad a little sub-par from the first one, but it yet very funny and awesome.

The only negative I have on the movie is with Mariana Mazza. It shows that they wanted to make another funny cameo character like Louis-José Houde in the 1rst film, but that one was badly handled and her part felt to much forced and unfunny.

But, still a good movie! 8/10 !!!

In A Nutshell: The story was NOT as good as with the first movie and really fizzles at the end BUT the interplay between the Anglophone and Francophone Canadian cops is LOTS OF FUN. If you liked BCBC 1, then it's WORTH THE WATCH. If you have not watched BCBC 1, then correct that immediately before watch episode 2 - it is hilarious!

Not for me though, I had the timing right. I just watched the first movie the other night and a couple of days later had this on the menu. You have the two main characters from the first one in this, but also some bit players. Although I didn't check if the kids from the first one are also playing the adult roles in this one. Now don't think because I make it sound like you have to watch the first one, you have to watch it. For story purposes you don't have to. To get little jokes (like the use of a french word for example) you would have to. And to get the relationship the two guys are having.

Having written all that, the movie holds up to the fun the first one was. But also the drama the other one had. It plays again on that thin line and stays mostly on the correct side of it, never really falling over. Action is good too and the story is suspensful enough. Good sequel then

I'm usually not a fan of sequels of any kind. Eleven years ago, the original ''Bon Cop Bad Cop'' portrayed the divergences and similarities between Anglo- and Franco-Canadians perfectly in a movie filled with diversified humour, stunning action sequences and a whole lot of suspense and tension plus some entertaining cultural elements related to ice hockey being Canada's national sport. This movie had a huge impact on my teenage years and is still one of my favourite films of all times. It was clear that a potential sequel couldn't be any better than this.

And yet, ''Bon Cop Bad Cop 2'' was more than just a positive surprise and is in fact as great as the perfect original movie. The creators managed to achieve this stunning result by developing a balanced mixture of trademarks from the original film and refreshing new elements instead of just copying what had been done eleven years earlier. They kept the talented two main actors Colm Feore and Patrick Huard who have great chemistry on and off the screen, the diversified humour including amusing cultural inspirations, inside jokes for Canadians and raw comedy elements plus a solid dose of action and tension. The movie includes a handful of new elements such as a convincing story line expanding to the United States of America that fits surprisingly well in times of Trump's presidency and the rise of terrorism all around the world, two main characters that have clearly influenced each other both negatively and positively but who have also become more mature and serious in a credible way and an overall more brutal and sinister tone that makes the action sequences even more explosive, the suspenseful elements even more gripping and the humorous parts even more relieving.

Even though this movie also focuses on Canada's diversified cultures, it might be more accessible internationally because it's easier to relate to the characters and their everyday life problems as well as to the story line involving two countries now. To be honest, this film is much better than any flick mixing elements of action, comedy and thriller cinema that has come out of the United States in the past ten years. More people should watch this movie as well as its brilliant predecessor. I have never liked sequels but now I hope that there is going to be another film of this franchise in the future. This movie makes me proud to live in Canada.

Wonderful movie by wonderful actors and director. Plot was very nice and funny. We Americans failed to understand some of the real issues in our country which is creating our hatred towards one another but here they tried to explain whatever we see and we hear are not true. Politicians are making our country very very bad. I never expect Canadian movie will be this much awesome. Very very thrilling and interested movie. i would recommend to watch this movie ad i promise you will enjoy.

Thanks.
