Le flic de Belleville

Don't know where to begin.... No chemistry between actors, poor dialogues, pointless scenes, poor plot. It looks like every scene has been shot in one take. The jokes have been written bij 8 year old's. This should be the end of Omar Sy's career, but Lupin saved his ass, It think. What about the story? There is no story, all the characters are one dimensial. This movie is a shame to cinema. I have seen the whole movie. Pure torture.

This movie was good. It reminded me of Beverly Hills Cop. This French Actor has a lot of camera charisma. Just like Eddie Murphy did, in his youth. Even the laugh is seductive. Very happy and strong vibes from the French actor. He made the movie. The other actor that played the detective was good too. But his character was not as relaxed as the French actor's role. I miss those light hearted movies of the 80's. My generation. This movie was a nice, wink, to those movies of the 89's. The French mom was hilarious. That would be me. The plot was readily made and the violence was minimal. Well done with the action scenes.

Funny movie from both stars watch and enjoy comedy and fun

Better than anticipated, and better than the reviews suggest, this is an odd couple / buddy cop movie, a little old-fashioned, but with enjoyable performances from Omar Sy and Luis Guzmán. It has the same plot and structure as a Jackie Chan film, or indeed Beverly Hills Cop. It's a little slow to get going, and flabby in parts, but Sy has the charm and presence to carry the leading role. The easy switching between French, Spanish, and English is well done, but may partially explain why the film is so poorly received (unless you're comfortable in those three languages you need to read a lot of subtitles). Miami, Paris, and Colombia (standing in for a fictional African country) are colourful and easy on the eye. Not the worst comedy action flick on Netflix.

I was unaware of this Omar Sy movie and watched it with pleasure on Netflix. You can clearly see that the movie was made with a low budget. You can also see that the movie was made with love. That combination warrants my rating of 7.
