      Audience Member Can't say I understood everything that happened in this movie but I liked it. I also like the affirming of the stereotype of pretty french girls in striped shirts and berets fighting gangsters or whoever currently needs to be beaten up. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Un bon policier à la française, avec des Peugeot, de l'esprit de camaraderie et Alain Chabat qui fait les gros yeux. Non, je rigole. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
