Synopsis
My New Partner II (Ripoux contre Ripoux, 1990) is a French crime comedy from Claude Zidi you can watch online on iFILM. René and François, two small-time bent cops working the streets of Paris, get caught over something trivial and lose their badges — so they pass the days fleecing suckers at the racetrack.
The trouble is, the pair who took their place turned out to be far worse. The new officers don't pocket loose change; they shake down the whole neighborhood like racketeers, until even the crooks who once ratted out our heroes are begging for the old days back. So a delegation of petty thieves shows up to plead with the exiles. Philippe Noiret and Thierry Lhermitte slip back into the duo — the weary cynic and his greener apprentice — and next to the real thugs, their lazy grifting starts to look almost charming.
Zidi made this as a straight follow-up to his 1984 hit and kept the easy charm of the original intact. It's one for fans of vintage French comedy, where wit beats morality every time. Stream the film online on iFILM.
