Plots(1)
Martin Ward (Colm Feore) and David Bouchard (Patrick Huard) could not be more different: one speaks English and is from Toronto; the other speaks French and is from Montreal. One obeys the law while the other makes his own. When a dead body is found draped over the border sign dividing Ontario and Quebec, they are forced to work together on the investigation and engage in a violent cat-and-mouse game with a deranged serial killer who is determined to keep the body count mounting. (official distributor synopsis)

Great one-liners and good actors in a hockey murder mystery from Canada. It’s another variation on Lethal Weapon, but it can still surprise. This is a film with heart, something you don’t see much these days.

I saw the second film first, which I liked as a comedy, but Bon Cop, Bad Cop is even better in that it works a little better as a fairly dark whodunit, where the main characters can still be funny, but it's not at the expense of a suspenseful and at times quite gritty investigation. The first film is also sexier.

I don't know if it was just my mood, but I was really bored in the first half, then I took an hour break and enjoyed the second half much more disproportionately. Anyone who has ever seen Lethal Weapon or other buddy movies will just stare at the old clichés Canadians came up with, but otherwise the lines work and you'll quite like the main duo after you get used to them. In the end, 70% and I'll watch the sequel.

The specific features of buddy action movies are a charismatic duo of detectives, funny jokes and original action. This movie doesn’t have any of the above. At some moments I felt I was watching a worse version of Alarm for Cobra 11 – The Highway Police. The “action-packed” ending only confirmed my impression.
