Die Unfehlbaren

It's been a long time since I watched something really alive, so that it wasn't superheroes against the background of graphics, or veterans of film studios shaking their track records as macho spy killers on the screens, no, so that there was life in the frame, and this film is just that case.

Life here flows like a fountain, though not in a civilized, decent way, as in cultural tourist places, but in different directions, as and wherever, so that it affects everyone around. But that's the beauty of this film.

The actors were chosen well, the relationships of the main characters do not look artificial, everything between them is very clear, distinct and natural.

Overall, the film is worth watching. Moreover, it looks easy, the film is swallowed whole without a trace and you don't want to pause or rewind, which in my personal experience is very rare.

No pun intended - buddy movies does not have to have only male main characters. On the other hand, some may feel this does not qualify to be in that "genre" (more like subgenre I reckon or whatever you would call it). Still you have cops here, you have a lot of fun dialog and you have quite the over the top scenes ... that somehow do work ... which is kind of astounding.

All that said, you have to be in the mood for the movie and its humor. Maybe watch a bit of the trailer, so you are sure this is for you ... because otherwise you would waste your time. For some this will be like a masterpiece I reckon, but most will just have a good time (hopefully) .. something the actors most certainly had shooting this (that's the vibe I am getting from them)

Not for nothing, but the girl is extremely infumable (in Spanish it is like saying unbearable) At this point it seems like writers really hate writing female characters. I mean, the plot of the movie is fun and all, but honestly... the girl makes the movie experience unpleasant to watch. I hated the character so much that I didn't even bother to remember his name because I wasn't interested in him one bit. It's okay that you lost your father, but that doesn't give you the right to be so stupid with people, damn it. Although it was generally funny, it's not hate on the actress, just a poorly written character.

Granted, the idea is not particularly original: two very different cops are teamed up and in the end become partners. But the story about how they catch a gang of criminals is well told, the action is spectacular. It's anice mix of action and humout although the humour sometimes is a bit over the top. What made me like the film was that it is an hommage to the action / crime films Belmondo made in the 70s and 80s. There is a great chase scene reminicicent of Peur sur la Ville and many characters actually have names from Belmondo films. It's this tongue in cheek style that makes the film really enjoyable-

Why have a 10 point of IQ poster for a film that is a lot more intelligent than that

I mean it is not MENSA but it is not what is on the poster

Cop buddy movie they do not get on then they start to then they get on great we have seen it a million times but it still works

And it is also a moral tale of family treason and healing and the views of Paris are stunning and there is not one minute when you are bored what more could you ask for

The acting is a B+ from all involved and the baddies get what baddies deserve well-oiled story and entertaining all the way

Enjoyable hour and a half. Recommended.
