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.

Take Down (Loin du Périph).

Once again, director Louis Leterrier and actor Omar Sy work together. After directing a few episodes of the great series Lupin, Leterrier is behind the camera in this French crime comedy available on Netflix.

It's a beat-up story, with two cops of different styles who haven't seen each other in a long time, having to work together to investigate a murder in a small French town.

Clichés after clichés, predictability, bad jokes. What saves is the always enlightened presence of Omar Sy, playing the police officer Ousmane Diakhité and some fun scenes between him and Laurent Lafitte, a member of La Comédie-Française, who in the film is the police officer François Monge.

It's a typical afternoon session movie, to watch, rest your head, laugh a little and then forget about it.
