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.

    I love Omar Sy, but this is terrible

    Most cliché movie I've seen in forever, it's so predictable it hurts. Such a shame since the cast is actually quite capable and the plot isn't half bad.
