Review of The Takedown (2022) by Tvjerry — 11 Jul 2022

Omar Sy (who is France's most famous new actor) and Laurent Lafitte play 2 cops with different styles who are put together to work on a dual district murder. This is actually a sequel to a 2012 film starring this duo, so there's some history and chemistry there.

For a police action drama, the story is surprisingly retro and trite, but the humor still translates. Their conflicting attitudes and continual banter are the core of the comedy. Some of the action scenes are well done, but it's really this combo of actors that makes the film an easy watch.
