Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'Squad 36' is a crime drama with mixed reception. Many commend the intriguing plot, strong acting, and atmospheric direction by Olivier Marchal. The film's cinematography and Paris setting are positively noted. However, some find the movie slow-paced, with underdeveloped characters and a disappointing ending. The action scenes and thriller elements are criticized for being lackluster. Despite these criticisms, the film is seen as an entertaining watch for fans of the genre.

So a decent plot for what I would call a crime drama movie. Started a bit slow, but became intriguing as the plot thickened. Relatively good acting and good cast of characters. Some action scenes with guns a blazing! Other scenes a bit slow, but lead you to believe the unit is involved in something nefarious. I wish they spent more time on what the bosses are up to so we can see what's going on. Enjoyed the lead up to the last scenes, but disappointed with the ending. Guess they are teeing this up for a sequel...let's hope so the bad guys end up dead! Overall, enjoyed the movie but wish it was a better ending.
The Netflix English-language synopsis is: "Forced out of his elite unit, a troubled cop launches his own rougue investigation when mysterious killings claim the lives of his former colleagues." Okay, sounds promising: maybe a noirish thriller or perhaps a revenge action movie.
Nope! It's a cloying, dour melodrama about coplife that's pretty insipid and pointless. You can tell you're in for a bumpy ride from the outset when the main character, who's supposed to be moonlighting as an underground MMA fighter, shows up for his bouts in a long-sleeve t-shirt. Presumably the actor couldn't be bothered to get in good enough shape to not look ridiculous cage-fighting shirtless.
Regardless the "mystery" elements aren't mysterious, the characters aren't likeable enough to engender interest/sympathy and the movie teases grand conspiracies it has no interest in exploring.
If there's any point to any of this at all it seems to be that one cannot fight City Hall. Fair enough, and there's a way to do that sort of thing right: see e.g. Chinatown and L. A. Confidential. They wove compelling characters, pathos and procedural elements into entertaining mysteries with gutting (Chinatown) and/or downbeat (L. A. Confidential) finales.
This, unfortunately, is more like a smug existentialist wasting the audience's time for two hours before getting to his rather banal point.

Rating it 6 stars (yet, would give it five and a half if possible) it means it is watchable (5 and below is increasingly bad), decent, but lower your expectations anyway - the movie is too slow for no reason, the main character is too inadequate for reason not really good enough. Yest, well played, well filmed - nothing wrong with the cinematography, it is just the plot that is average, but wanted to be more while it couldn't. So my advice is to spare some time for it only if there is nothing more intriguing or you don't want to be that concentrated in a movie.
The French are capable of better, either action, drama or both.

Good acting especially of Victor Belmondo kept me and my wife engaged until the unexpected end that I cannot spoil here.
He saved this movie to be an average cop thriller.
The story is a classic corruption film that was directed by the well known French director Olivier Marchal who did several other good mystery thrillers.
All the staff and actors did a respectable job here and the movie is fast paced. There were some hot chases on motorcycle. Alright, you know this is a dark corrupted movie seen times before but if you have nothing other to watch this works for an entertaining evening.
Solid 6/10.

A typical PolAr crime film from France, but one that surprises with German-language tracks by Rebeka WARRIOR and the band KOMPROMAT in the soundtrack!
The grandson of Jean-Paul BELMONDO (1933 - 2021), Victor BELMONDO (born 1993), plays a young police officer from the French BRI who is transferred to the BAC as a punishment because of his penchant for illegal competitions. Six months later, some of his former colleagues are killed. Apparently the former friends were involved in illegal activities. The investigation reveals further surprises.
Nothing new from the PolAr genre that is so popular in France and beyond! But with French director Olivier MARCHAL, who is primarily responsible for the genre classic 36 QUAI DES ORFEVRES from 2004, a master of his craft delivers a passable NETFLIX film. For fans of the French crime film, which is also somehow the successor to the Italian Poliziotteschi from the 1970s, it is definitely worth a viewing.
