Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006)

I just recently saw this movie and really liked it. It is a Canadian movie in both French and English (one of the few bilingual movies I have ever seen.) It's about a body found on the border of Ontario and Quebec and how an English-speaking Canadian and a French-speaking Canadian have to work together to solve the murder(s).Colm Feore plays the English-Canadian and Patrick Huard plays the French-Canadian (not that hard for both as they are in real life.) The movie has a lot of comical parts including many stereotypes (ie the French-Canadians can't drive and the English-Canadians are obsessed with Queen Elizabeth II.) There were many other jokes that made the movie very funny to watch. Not only does the film poke fun at both the French and English-speaking populations, but with Canada as a whole (ie it's obsession with hockey. etc.) While I liked that the film was bilingual it was a little odd at times when a person was speaking French and then in the same sentence switched to English and vice versa. There were times though when it really fit and was pretty funny. I would like to see more bilingual films. Sometimes they film a movie all in English and then again all in French so it doesn't look weird as most dubbed movies do, but to be a bilingual country and not have many bilingual movies, shows, etc seems odd. Besides the jokes the movie had some good action scenes. I was surprised to see that in a Canadian movie (where they are usually so polite and even in the action/adventure scenes they seem subdued.) I'm surprised that the movie didn't have a sequel as it would easily have been a good one. If Canada continues making films like this one then the Canadian film industry will be known internationally as more than a place where American films are made because it is cheaper.
