Canadian "Rush Hour"
19 April 2017
If you enjoy the police duo genre in the vein of Rush Hour and Bad Boys, you are going to love this one!

Though not as "in your face" funny as Rush Hour or laden with crash scenes as Bad Boys, it nonetheless pleases on a much more subtle, homage-laden level than either of its predecessors. If you are a hockey fan, you'll enjoy the character parodies and other references. But, as hockey-impaired as I am, I loved the class of cultures the movie represented.

A stand-out scene for me was when the duo meets with the Quebec M.E., "Jeff the Coroner," masterfully and hilariously played by, Louis- José Houde. I stopped the movie and replayed it just to see if I could follow the ripping medical soliloquy the actor delivers which reminded me of Jimmy Cagney in his final movie, "1,2,3."

There is a sequel coming out in May of 2017 which I will not miss!
