The Takedown
Two cops. One case. No clue.
Directed by Louis Leterrier
Produced by Mandarin Production
A buddy-cop comedy that balances action and humor through the contrasting personalities of two mismatched detectives solving a case across France.
Ousmane Diakité and François Monge are two cops with very different styles, backgrounds and careers. The unlikely pair are reunited once again for a new investigation that takes them across France. What seemed to be a simple drug deal turns out to be a much bigger criminal case wrapped in danger and unexpected comedy.
