Laurent Lafitte and Omar Sy in The Takedown (2022)
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 high scale criminal case wrapped in danger and unexpected comedy.

    Below average
    Other than some decent action scenes, the acting was poor, the writing was very predictable and the on screen chemistry was non existent. Add in a little corny racist comments against white people and you have this awful movie. The fight scenes look like children when they play fight in the back yard. They just don't make good movies like they used to anymore.
