5/10
Hit every cliché in the book
25 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
While Bon Cop Bad Cop was certainly an entertaining film, I was left cringing in my seat from cheap acting, dime store clichés, and one too many fight scenes. Patrick Huard's character (David Bouchard) fills in the antiquated stereotype of an oversexed, impulse driven French Canadian. Early in the film, David's ex- wife notes that if it weren't for work, women and booze, they might still be married. While it might be expected that his character will develop past these flaws, a romantic climax is later reached with a manly looking Sarain Boyland.

The script drags and is perilously unfocused. The motivation for the Tattoo Killer is never revealed. After two hours of indulgent fist fights and chase scenes, I was at least expecting a twist in the end. Is the tattoo killer simply a crazed hockey fan or does he have a more specific reason for killing off elite members of the hockey community.

Overall, the film could have used better editing (way too many fight scenes, it just got boring) and a tighter script.
