The trailer for Almost Cops sets the tone for a fast-paced action-comedy combining investigations, chases and explosive rivalries on the streets of Rotterdam.
Synopsis: Ramon (Jandino Asporaat), a neighborhood cop in Rotterdam, is forced to team up with Jack (Werner Kolf), a temporarily demoted daredevil ex-policeman. Although their methods are opposed, they share a common wound: the loss of a murdered loved one. Together, they form an explosive duo ready to do anything to track down the murderer and unravel a case that's more complex than it seems.
Synopsis: Ramon, a special investigator deeply involved in the security of his Rotterdam neighborhood, is forced to collaborate with Jack, an impulsive ex-policeman demoted after an incident. The two men, whom everything seems to oppose, must team up to track down a murderer. As they discover that they have each lost someone close to them in similar circumstances, they join forces to uncover the truth and plunge into the heart of a criminal network larger than they imagined.
Almost Cops takes the classic codes of the mismatched cop duo, in the vein of Rush Hour or Very Bad Cops, but transposes them to a Dutch urban context. The humor arises from the contrast between Ramon's rigid methods and Jack's misbehavior. But behind the comic situations lies an investigation with darker stakes, giving the plot an unexpected dramatic dimension.
Shot in the Netherlands, the film uses the streets of Rotterdam as a vivid backdrop for the action. Between chases, heated exchanges and growing tensions, Almost Cops plays with the city's modern architecture to reinforce the dynamics of the plot. The visual universe remains rooted in everyday life, reinforcing the immersion effect for viewers.
