Rene is a cynical veteran of the Montmartre police department with a belief that everyone is guilty of something. He'll also take payoffs from anyone, including criminals in exchange for their freedom. His young partner, Francois, has begun to share Rene's less than upstanding practices, but really enjoys being a cop and hopes to someday become lieutenant. Everything is running smoothly until, one day, Rene and Francois perform a good deed. Responding to a robbery alarm, Rene anticipates the thief's route, and the culprit runs right into the detective's arms. Rene is prepared, as usual, to split the loot 50-50 with Francois and free the thief. But Francois insists on returning the cash. He returns the money directly to the shop owner and gallantly asks for no receipt. Unfortunately, the shop owner is a former girlfriend of Rene's with a serious grievance, and when the thief is recaptured empty-handed, she accuses the detectives of taking her money.

This movie is a beautiful, natural piece that’s a joy to watch. Phillipe Noiret and Thierry Lhermitte had such an amazing chemistry that I re-watched the first movie several times in a row. I didn’t get to see the sequel for quite some time and so when it was on TV, I took the time to finally end this mission. The end result was really nice, but sequels are rarely better than the first movie and that’s the case with this movie as well. It’s a shame that the sequel ignores the first movie. They’re still the same gang as in the first movie, but the story gets a bit weaker. For example, the ending pales in comparison to the first movie which is absolutely beautiful and typically French. The first movie is simply insuperable in this regard.

After the excellent first part came a cold shower and a terrible disappointment. And another of the tens, maybe hundreds of examples for the argument that sequels should not be made for successful films at all costs. The subject definitely seemed promising, but the execution is downright scandalous, the plot is stupid, boring, colorless, and odorless. The final half-hour is downright desperate. I was looking forward to the sequel so much, but after this fiasco, I don't even know if I want to give the third installment a chance at all.
