Directed by Rachid Bouchareb, Le Flic de Belleville is an action-comedy that brings together Omar Sy and Luis Guzmán in a colorful investigation. The film plays on cultural contrasts and offbeat situations, as its main character, Baaba, a policeman from the Belleville district of Paris, finds himself plunged into the exuberant world of Miami.
Le Flic de Belleville is available on Prime Video from January 1, 2025.
Synopsis: Baaba is a cop in Belleville, a neighborhood he's never left, much to the despair of his girlfriend, who's trying to get him to finally live with her elsewhere, away from his mother. One night, his childhood friend Roland is murdered before his very eyes. Baaba takes his place as Liaison Officer to the French Consulate in Miami, in order to find his killer. In Florida, flanked by his more-than-invasive mother, he is taken in hand by Ricardo, a local cop with a bad temper. Forced to team up, the explosive duo lead the investigation...
Le Flic de Belleville will appeal to fans of action comedies and stories combining humor and light-hearted suspense. If you've enjoyed films like Rush Hour or Le Flic de Beverly Hills, this Franco-American adventure, driven by the charisma of Omar Sy, is sure to entertain.
This film will particularly appeal to those who like stories where the clash of cultures gives rise to absurd situations and hilarious moments. The addition of a family touch, with the character of the invasive mother, brings a tender, comic dimension to the story. On the other hand, viewers looking for a complex police investigation or more subtle humor may find the film more focused on levity and cultural clichés.
With its mix of humor, action and culture shock, Le Flic de Belleville is a light comedy that relies on the chemistry between its lead actors. Omar Sy shines in this role that combines humor and adventure, promising a moment of accessible, fun entertainment.
