The story is derivative and the unexpected twist as old as the hills ,but....
this little comedy is very entertaining ,and you often laugh heartily !
The screenplay is downright muddled, but who cares ? It's a mishmash where real two-bit gangsters , false and real policemen (check the title: "our friends the cops" ) play hide and seek in a police station ,in a museum and in a bank.
Daniel Auteuil's presence on the screen is rather short ,but he's excellent in his part of tough guy (ouch !my fingers!) parodying Tarentino's sadistic heroes. Frederic Diefenthal ,although cast against type ,is riotously funny ,always looking stupefied and overtaken by events ;sexy Armelle Deutsch steals the show in the scene when she makes a formal complaint about a so-called rape , as "Boop Betty" .
Not much food for thought but a lot of fun is guaranteed for all!
