The Bait (2010)

L'appât

Poirier is a lieutenant with the metropolitan police. More often than not, his dyed-in-the-wool idealism leads to disaster instead of successful arrests. Ventura is a member of the French Secret Service. A polyglot spy with abs of steel. Following a series of unpredictable events, our two policemen find themselves working together, somewhat reluctantly. From culture shocks to linguistic surprises, from wild chases to practical lessons, the two men will look beyond their differences to discover the true meaning of friendship.

Lepage as Prudent Poirier, a bumbling Montreal police officer who witnesses the death of mafia boss Carboni, and Rachid Badouri as Mohammed Choukroune, a French secret service agent who is sent to Montreal to pose as "Ventura", a new police recruit who is paired with Prudent in an attempt to recover information about Carboni's death. As the mission goes awry, however, the two are forced to uncover a wider conspiracy that implicates their own bosses as well.
