Belleville Cop

If you love French comedies and especially for those of the brilliant Omar Sy you must watch it .

This movie is a bad copy of the 80's Beverly Hills cop. Omar Sy is the new Axel Foley. The same plot, this time on Miami. Is it really necessary to have to swallow this? Belleville sounds like Beverly.

Terrible Movie, no Story, Bad Acting. Super Bad synchro...

Belleville Cop is the French version of the classic buddy cop genre. Omar Sy brings charm and energy to his role as Baaba, giving the character a lively presence. However, the film overall is let down by a clichéd script and predictable plot.

The action scenes aren't particularly impressive, and the humor often falls flat. All the promotions and buddy cop vibes had raised my expectations, but the film didn't deliver. Omar Sy's charisma carries it somewhat, yet there were plenty of moments where I found myself bored.

In short: A bit entertaining for buddy cop fans, but you need to keep your expectations low.

Rating: 4/10.

Better than anticipated, and better than the reviews suggest, this is an odd couple / buddy cop movie, a little old-fashioned, but with enjoyable performances from Omar Sy and Luis Guzmán. It has the same plot and structure as a Jackie Chan film, or indeed Beverly Hills Cop. It's a little slow to get going, and flabby in parts, but Sy has the charm and presence to carry the leading role. The easy switching between French, Spanish, and English is well done, but may partially explain why the film is so poorly received (unless you're comfortable in those three languages you need to read a lot of subtitles). Miami, Paris, and Colombia (standing in for a fictional African country) are colourful and easy on the eye. Not the worst comedy action flick on Netflix.
