A "misunderestimated" no-brainer comedy from America's neighbor in the north.
This film is about two Canadian policemen, one from Ontario and the other Quebec, who were, both reluctant, made partners to track and nab a serial killer. The scenario sounds not a little clichéd but, with its Hollywood action scenes and French-style (Québecois) sly wit, actually enticing to watch.
In Hot Fuzz, Simon Pegg has to deal with with a bunch of English gardening maniacs; in Bon Cop, Bad Cop, the heroes are faced with a Montreal hockey fanatic. The mere absurdity of it makes the whole pursuit, however intense or exciting, allusively ironic. Therefore, this film can be interpretated as an implicit satire towards ultra-nationalism, anti-globalists, and fetish enthusiasts.
The best fun about this film is to watch the two heroes constantly bickering, later translated into a kind of male bonding, on behalf of the cultures they respectively represent. This partnership, problematic at first, alludes to the equally tricky relation between Quebec and the greater English-speaking Canada. The happy ending is another foolproof optimism that, despite difficulties, a Canadian harmony could eventually be achieved.
Patrick Huard does a great job playing the mischievously irreverent, foul-talking, sexy French-Canadian cop, overshadowing co-star Colm Feore, whose role as the equally pompous but english-speaking soul falls flat.
Try not to see it as a police thriller, a genre Hong Kong holds de facto monoply on, but a bilingual buddy film flavored with action sequences. To those who still claim a sense of humor, Bon Cop, Bad Cop makes good entertainment, great fun!
看点也正在这里，两位不同风格的警察，一个凡事循规蹈矩，坚持程序；一个我行我素，追求效率。冲突和笑料就在两人合作中迭起。
其他就伐善可陈矣。
其实看中年大叔耍宝还是挺欢乐的，尤其是在餐馆那里，虽然搞笑桥段老套了点，到后半部分认真起来时反而变得无聊起来了，反派的表现也颇让人失望，缺乏了一个高潮
要是你没看过《犯罪现场》或者《犯罪心理》，那么这部片子还是可以看看，初步了解一下的
总体评分：3.3/5.0
娱乐指数：3.3/5.0
票房表现：800万加拿大元，在2006年的时候相当于711万美元（现在是708万），成本控制比美国低很多，当然里面看上去也没什么花钱的地方...首周票房为143万，海外票房为7万（仅在俄罗斯上映），相当悲剧……最终全球票房为1273万，成功保本
