Patrick Huard's brainchild is shot in an exciting visual style and overcomes its satirical if admittedly corny plot - part Se7en, part Slap Shot - about two reluctant partner cops (one from Ontario, one Quebecois) who must track down the man masterminding revenge on all those Ame... read more

An explosive and wickedly entertaining thriller. Great non-stop fun that packs plenty of action, suspense and outragiously funny laughs. A teriffic buddy cop comedy. Colm Feore and Patrick Huard have fantastic chemistry. An irresistable team. Brilliant, wild and fantastic. Stylis... read more

When a rather unorthodox crime touches the border between Ontario and Quebec, police squads in each province are forced to work together.
Two cops - as the title suggests, one 'bad' and the other 'good'. Throughout the movie they learn to annoy the crap out of each other, watch ... read more -

Your typical buddy cop picture, which follows the formula religiously. The added "twist" is that it's Canadian, so there are some new jokes, but you'll only get them if you grew up in Canada.
Entertaining but nothing special. -

This movie is at once distinctly Canadian and at the same time one of the most American things I have ever seen. The movie is about hockey, Ontario/Quebec relations and yet it is ultimately just a buddy cop shoot'em up. Lots of fun and in the grand American style makes almost no ... read more

Bon Cop, Bad Cop Movie. This reminds me of a lot of the Turkish horror films I've seen recently, trying to emulate American genre flicks and having a strange non-American feel to it. Chase scenes cut to odd rock music, peculiar lighting and archetypal characters that, while bei... read more

Explosive, entertaining buddy movie. Once you'll see it, you'll know why it sold so well... Et puis, comme y faut être bilingue ici, ben... laissez-moi dire que c'est un bon divertissement comme on l'aime, malgré le scénario vraiment fragmenté qui a perdu de sa cohérence probable... read more

This movie is so funny that I actually watched it TWICE (which I very rarely do because there is so little time and so many movies). And the second time around I watched it with a Canadian couple who were able to explain all the inside jokes that only Canadians would understand.... read more

Madison Film Festival. Funny but I didn't really understand the plot or why people were being killed.
Critic Reviews
As with all buddy movies, Bon Cop Bad Cop succeeds on the strength of the leads' rapport. Full Review
Its good-hearted probing of Canada's social and cultural balancing act likely will do more to promote harmony in Canada than a whole raft of political speeches. Full Review
Billed as Canada's first bilingual feature, director Erik Canuel imitates US buddy film formula.
Accessible and entertaining, with enough local flavor to seem exotic to English viewers. Not only that, but it's FUN. Full Review
