in something, anything, given the popularity of their previous collaboration, the French thriller series “Lupin.” But U.S. viewers may be a tad puzzled by the streamer’s decision to green-light as their follow-up a popcorn movie as nondescript as “” — a sequel to “On the Other Side of the Tracks” , a lightweight 2012 French-produced buddy-cop action-comedy that, whatever its popularity in its home territory, received only limited release by The Weinstein Company in this county.
“On the Other Side of the Tracks” — which can be tracked down, in case you’re interested, on The Roku Channel — introduced Sy’s Ousmane Diakhité, a wisecracking, rule-breaking Black cop in the Paris suburb of Bobigny who obviously views Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley as a role model , and more or less attaches himself to François Monge , a careerist white Paris Crime Unit investigator, when the wife of a powerful businessman is found brutally murdered near Ousmane’s housing project.
Not knowing any of this beforehand may diminish your enjoyment of “The Takedown,” since the sequel often makes vague allusions to events and plot developments in the earlier, and better, movie. But the two lead characters remain pretty much the same here, even though their respective status has changed. Monge still is a good cop, albeit not nearly as good as he thinks he is, and his chronic skirt-chasing would be offensive if he weren’t so often the, ahem, butt of the jokes.
