    • Trivia
      In the beginning of the movie, Ousmane played by Omar Sy and François Monge (Laurent Lafitte) visit president Chaligny (André Marcon) in a noble restaurant to inform him about his wife's murder. The exact same house, where this scene takes place, was used in another movie Intouchables (2011) featuring again Omar Sy in the role of Driss. In Intouchables (2011) this property was owned by and a home to rich quadriplegic Philippe Pozzo di Borgo played by François Cluzet, whom Driss was a caretaker of. Though Intouchables (2011) was filmed more than a year before this movie, the building's interior and exterior decorations, including paintings and ornamental bushes outside the entrance, look exactly the same.

    French version of "Lethal Weapon"
    Tight *ss white cop from Paris is forced to work together with a cheery black cop from the suburbs. Lots of racial jokes. Lots of situations in which the white privileged cop gets made fun of. Sort of a french version of "Lethal Weapon". Little less explosive. More refined. The story really doesnt matter, it is just an excuse to keep making jokes about the conflicts the two cops get into. Just as was the case with Lethal Weapon.

    Acting is great. Omar Sy is well known by now since he performed so excellently a man who cared for an invalid in "Untouchables". He has got great charm. And the white cop played by Laurent Lafitte is a famous comedy actor in France as well, who also has made the leap to some international movie succes. This movie however is about France's class struggle, between the poor people in the suburbs and the rich people in downtown Paris. All in good cheer though. Contineous jokes. Some funny chases. Just a great buddy cop movie, the French way...
