Bon Cop Bad Cop 2

Bon Cop, Bad Cop 2 (2017) This is a Canadian action-comedy sequel starring Colm Feore and Patrick Huard in a reprisal of their original roles. The film carries on the buddy cop formula. The two cops remained friends but gradually grew apart. They are reunited to investigate a car theft ring which turns out to be a front for a much bigger terrorist plot. It's being considered a strong sequel that just couldn't catch the lighting of the first, due to the 11 years between films. The only thing I thought was unnecessary was an illness angle. Other than that, I thought the chemistry was still there. The movie would have faired much better if it was released closer to the original.

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

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.

If you didn't like the first movie then you shouldn't watch this one either because it's basically the same kind of movie. Just another cops versus bad guys story. A different story but nevertheless it's about the same. I did like the first one and so did I again with the sequel. The chemistry between the English speaking Canadian Colm Feore and the French speaking Canadian Patrick Huard still works. And again like in the first movie I barely didn't understand anything of that Canadian French. And French is my first language as a Belgian. That says enough about how weird it is to us to hear them speak. I was glad there were subtitles because the only language I understood clearly was the English. It's a lighthearted cop comedy in the same genre as Lethal Weapon but instead of a black cop and a white cop you just have a French speaking and a English speaking cop. It worked for Lethal Weapon and it also works for Bon Cop, Bad Cop.

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!
