Os Opostos Sempre Se Atraem

Action, funny dialogues and a good Omar Sy as usual. But don't expect too much from the story.

Anyway, if you don't have something special to do at a Saturday evening this could work.

I spent a good time with my wife and we could laugh a lot. 6/10.

This would have been enjoyable for small children if not for explicit content. Now it's not enjoyable for anyone. This is painfully bad and it almost physically hurt me to watch this movie until the end.

Take Down (Loin du Périph).

Once again, director Louis Leterrier and actor Omar Sy work together. After directing a few episodes of the great series Lupin, Leterrier is behind the camera in this French crime comedy available on Netflix.

It's a beat-up story, with two cops of different styles who haven't seen each other in a long time, having to work together to investigate a murder in a small French town.

Clichés after clichés, predictability, bad jokes. What saves is the always enlightened presence of Omar Sy, playing the police officer Ousmane Diakhité and some fun scenes between him and Laurent Lafitte, a member of La Comédie-Française, who in the film is the police officer François Monge.

It's a typical afternoon session movie, to watch, rest your head, laugh a little and then forget about it.

Chill movie with a bit of violence and humor seasoned with clichés. For sure there no surprises, the movie rolls smoothly even the pace is rather good.

The competition between the two main characters somehow funny but eventually gets annoying. The end was mostly disappointing, the story should have gone all the way through or not at all because it was very lame.

Netflix has a tendency at not ending well its creations.

Or is it funny cops? Well I guess there is a mixture, because while this is ridiculous in one sense, it has quite a few intense action scenes on the other hand. Not to mention quite the explicit violence and at least one really awful looking death (and I don't mean the CGI).

That all being said, the movie is predictable and if you don't get down with the comedy and the humor - you might have an issue watching this. The "fine" line between humor and action, may not be for everyone. The movie is decent - but you'll get the vibe it has from the first scene. When the police is unable to figure out which door to use ... you'll either think this is funny or you better switch the movie off.
