I thought it was just OK, a little slow-paced but still enjoyable. I like watching the way cops are depicted as operating in other countries-the variations on the theme. The other draw was Jean Reno as the lead. Ever since The Professional, I've been a fan of his-a bona-fide star, with a character actor's face. However, other than the OG La Femme Nikita, where he played Victor(The Cleaner), I've never seen him performing in French, dubbed or otherwise. When I saw this was on Prime, despite my general aversion to dubbed or subtitled offerings, I was ready to suffer through the language barrier just to see him in action in a French police procedural. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I found out it was being presented in English. Unlike all the people here whining about the English dialogue, I had no problem making the very slight logical leap in easily comprehending that everyone is speaking French, that we just happen to hear as English. I guess these same unimaginative people couldn't get their pedantic preconceptions past the fact that Ben Hur, Spartacus and dozens upon dozens of other historical dramas set in early Roman times weren't voiced in Hebrew, Latin or other, appropriate regional tongues or that the many WW2 movies had the audacity to present Japanese, Russian and German characters speaking in English, fake accents or otherwise. Sadly too, they must have all hated the Star Wars movies, since, obviously, no one actually spoke English, "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...". Too bad Lucas didn't invent a fake language and then put in subtitles. He could have made some real money on his series of movies, lol.
