Bon Cop Bad Cop 2

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.

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.

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!

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.
