Rene (Philippe Noiret) is a crooked cop in a crime-riddled Parisian neighborhood. Rather than fight crime, he's chosen to go with the flow, and he loves every minute of it: the kickbacks, the shakedowns, the drugs, the booze and the floozies. But when he's partnered with an idealistic new academy graduate, Francois (Thierry Lhermitte), determined to live up to the letter of the law, Rene has to find a way to corrupt his new partner, using gorgeous prostitute Natasha (Grace de Capitani).

Graham Y A movie I watched by accident on UK TV many years ago and fell in love with it. Very funny and does not paint French policing in a favourable light. A great lead from Phillipe Noiret. Please someone stream it. I'm sure it will have aged like a fine French wine. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Audience Member I love Paris in the 80s, how 'bout you? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Una película que tuvo (inexplicablemente) éxito en Francia y dio para dos o tres secuelas. No se sabe si es comedia, drama o simplemente el director o el guionista no sabían exactamente qué querían hacer. Tiene a Philippe Noiret que es un actorazo, pero nada más. No recomendable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member An honest cop teamed with a corrupt one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member a great comedy classic ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This French comedy is really well done , well written 1 the cast is just pitch perfect!It's incredible how you can really make a great flick with not that much money but good actors & above all a very cleaver scenario! Give it a shot it's pure delight from start to finish! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
