Bon Cop, Bad Cop

This buddy cop movie is set in Canada with the odd-ball pairing coming from an English speaking detective from Toronto getting partnered with a French speaking detective from Quebec. Even while this utilized many of the predictable buddy-cop elements, and builds on the Canadian stereotype by making the serial killer motivated by a hockey team, I still found it enjoyable. The two detectives have pretty good chemistry, alternating between french and english language, and transitioning from an initial territorialism to an "all-we've-got-is-each-other" partnership. A good sunday afternoon surprise.
3-stars
