The Takedown

The French-language action crime comedy film is directed by Louis Leterrier. Written by Stéphane Kazandjian, the movie revolves around two police officers, Ousmane Diakité, played by César Award winner Omar Sy, and François Monge, who have very different styles, backgrounds and careers. Together, the unlikely pair set out on an investigation that takes them across France. What seemed to be an ordinary drug deal turns out to be an unexpectedly huge criminal case, involving danger with a dash of comedy. The cinematography by Thomas Hardmeier and the editing is by Vincent Tabaillon. With Laurent Lafitte playing the role of François Monge, the cast also includes Izïa Higelin, Dimitri Storoge, Léopold Bara, Luka Quinn, Jean-Louis Tilburg and Caroline Mathieu, among others.
