Ripoux contre ripoux

Après l’enthousiasme de l’original, c’est la douche froide et la déception suprême ! Et une démonstration parmi des milliers d’autres comme quoi il n’est pas forcément souhaitable de créer une suite à un film qui a bien marché. Le sujet est prometteur, mais le traitement est criminel ! L’intrigue est stupide, ennuyeuse, fade et insipide et la dernière demi-heure est tout simplement désespérante. Je me réjouissais de voir ce deuxième volet, mais maintenant, je ne sais pas si je serai encore motivé pour le numéro trois. (19/01/2017)

This movie is a beautiful, natural piece that’s a joy to watch. Phillipe Noiret and Thierry Lhermitte had such an amazing chemistry that I re-watched the first movie several times in a row. I didn’t get to see the sequel for quite some time and so when it was on TV, I took the time to finally end this mission. The end result was really nice, but sequels are rarely better than the first movie and that’s the case with this movie as well. It’s a shame that the sequel ignores the first movie. They’re still the same gang as in the first movie, but the story gets a bit weaker. For example, the ending pales in comparison to the first movie which is absolutely beautiful and typically French. The first movie is simply insuperable in this regard. (13/06/2013)
