Les infaillibles

No pun intended - buddy movies does not have to have only male main characters. On the other hand, some may feel this does not qualify to be in that "genre" (more like subgenre I reckon or whatever you would call it). Still you have cops here, you have a lot of fun dialog and you have quite the over the top scenes ... that somehow do work ... which is kind of astounding.

All that said, you have to be in the mood for the movie and its humor. Maybe watch a bit of the trailer, so you are sure this is for you ... because otherwise you would waste your time. For some this will be like a masterpiece I reckon, but most will just have a good time (hopefully) .. something the actors most certainly had shooting this (that's the vibe I am getting from them)

The Infallibles (2024) French film is not of a French quality standard film. Casting is very poor. It seems to me that this is a low budget film copying Hollywood action thriller. Acting also average. The lady inspector is totally miss cast. Other actors are old and can not do acting.

French film industry has number of excellent actors and still this casting !!! Direction and editing are weak. One thing I like is the mention of ' Belmento' a villain turned lead actor who used to his own stunts without body double. Fear Over The City is an example of such performance.

However, stunts in this film is well choreographed and performed although many times by body double. Overall this film is average film.

Granted, the idea is not particularly original: two very different cops are teamed up and in the end become partners. But the story about how they catch a gang of criminals is well told, the action is spectacular. It's anice mix of action and humout although the humour sometimes is a bit over the top. What made me like the film was that it is an hommage to the action / crime films Belmondo made in the 70s and 80s. There is a great chase scene reminicicent of Peur sur la Ville and many characters actually have names from Belmondo films. It's this tongue in cheek style that makes the film really enjoyable-

Why have a 10 point of IQ poster for a film that is a lot more intelligent than that

I mean it is not MENSA but it is not what is on the poster

Cop buddy movie they do not get on then they start to then they get on great we have seen it a million times but it still works

And it is also a moral tale of family treason and healing and the views of Paris are stunning and there is not one minute when you are bored what more could you ask for

The acting is a B+ from all involved and the baddies get what baddies deserve well-oiled story and entertaining all the way

Enjoyable hour and a half. Recommended.

This film is a must-see! It's very entertaining and incredibly funny. The casting is absolutely perfect, with each actor delivering stellar performances that had me laughing throughout. The chemistry among the cast members was evident, adding an extra layer of authenticity and charm to the story.

The production spared no expense, with millions clearly spent on the breathtaking backgrounds and locations. The visual spectacle was nothing short of extraordinary, transporting viewers to a variety of stunning settings that added depth and richness to the narrative. The attention to detail in the set design and cinematography was truly impressive.

The plot was unpredictable, keeping me engaged and on the edge of my seat in front of my home cinema screen until the very end. Just when I thought I had figured out what was going to happen next, the story took a surprising turn that left me delighted and eager to see how it would all unfold.

I particularly enjoyed the French vibe that permeated the film, adding a unique and refreshing cultural touch. The music was also a standout feature, with a different and captivating soundtrack that complemented the overall mood and tone of the movie perfectly.

Highly recommend! This film offers a perfect blend of humor, intrigue, and visual beauty that will entertain audiences of all ages. Whether you're looking for a good laugh or simply want to be swept away by a well-crafted story, this movie delivers on all fronts. Don't miss out on this.
