Plot summary

Ousmane Diakité and François Monge are two cops with very different styles, backgrounds and careers. The unlikely pair are reunited once again for a new investigation that takes them across France. What seemed to be a simple drug deal turns out to be a much bigger criminal case wrapped in danger and unexpected comedy.

Once in English, Once in French

I watched this twice. Once with subtitles in English and the other with dubbed English voice actors. I liked both versions, but if you want the full value for your watching experience then the original audio is the way to go. French is a beautiful language, and in addition the actors original delivery makes certain scenes infinitely more funnier. For a buddy cop movie that's formulaic, The Takedown, works surprisingly well because the two leads have a believable and comical relationship. Think Lethal Weapon, but with French tropes instead of American. The Takedown is what you get when you pair an effete French elite with a hard nose Paris street cop. Add in some neo-Nazis, the far right political movement currently sweeping Europe, and car chases around France's scenic countryside and this is what you will get in this movie. It's nothing special, but it is enjoyable in two languages.Recommended.

Everything You've Seen Before

This is your run-of-the-mill police procedural with a touch of comedy to make it a bit more interesting. The problem is it's cliched and you wished the producers/director should have been somehow original: car chases, the usual suspects, a policewoman who turns out to be not what you expected.The script is the problem. Omar Sy was more engaging in Lupin.
