Review of Bon Cop Bad Cop (2006) by Mario A — 08 Aug 2008
Hard to fully fathom this one. I can't tell if it's an intentional or unintentional rip-off of the Lethal Weapon series (the ending in particular practically recreates the end of LW 1). I likely would have enjoyed the hockey in-jokes if I knew anything about hockey at all.
As it is I did enjoy the dark humour in the middle 2/3 of it, but it's a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be: comedy, serious action-thriller, murder mystery. It settled for being all that and more.
I guess that prefectly describes the Canadian way: a crippling compromise that ends up OK but excelling at nothing in particular.
