The two cops from the prequel, "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" (2006) are reunited in Montreal to solve a car theft operation that is linked to a terrorist plot: Martin Ward (Colm Feore), a Toronto anglophone who is now in the RCMP; and David Bouchard (Patrick Huard), a Montreal francophone who is working undercover within the car theft operation.
This film is a good-humoured cop caper with fine acting but the premise is far-fetched with a subplot that is resolved too quickly by the film's end. There are many good laughs in the film but it sometimes goes too far with scenes of violent torture being portrayed as "funny".
But praise must go to the two lead actors for their individual performances as well as their solid chemistry. Huard is hilarious as a character who is animalistic in his ways of working, living, and being. His soft side is also genuine in scenes involving his family. He also has a hilarious line directed at the U.S. President. Feore is superb in scenes of emotion involving his character's estranged son as well as his own health difficulties. Another acting bonus comes from Mariana Mazza who is hilarious as a hyper, foul-mouthed computer hack.
