CGiii Comment
French farce is an acquired taste...it's like Marmite.
But...Alice Pol delivers a fine comedic performance. It's almost like watching an updated Private Benjamin...albeit, in French, transposed to the police and - similarly and sadly - falls apart halfway through!
There's a gay pride march, a couple of villainous transvestites...and, a damn fine firework display.
Alice Pol makes it...unfortunately, the script breaks it!

The(ir) Blurb...
The story of a woman who dreams to join an intervention group in the police department called RAID. Unfortunately, she is rather clumsy and both her family (and soon to be family-in-law) and a veteran of the RAID do not approve. However, Johanna is determined to prove them wrong.
