With its light humour that makes the corners of your mouth go up regularly and well in balance with the action an intervention group is confronted with, Raid Dingue positively surprised me. It is a very pleasant movie one can enjoy alone or with family. Of course, there was nothing too fancy about it (although the explosions near the ending did lighten up a lot of moods),it is French comedy cinema. But all in all, Raid Dingue, is a very nice movie that I really enjoyed, much to my surprise.
Plot summary
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.

Going Raid
Never let anyone tell you your dream cannot become reality ... on the other hand, if someone is as obsessed as our main character here, maybe it's best not to feed their delusion? Just saying ... but take this with a grain of salt! It is a comedy after all. This is not supposed to be real. Just go with the flow and have a laugh (or two or three or ... you get the point).
The charismatic lead character makes it a bit easier to accept her shenanigans and forgive her to a certain extent. Something many in this seem to be able to do also. Except the one guy who is training her ... I mean understandable but also predictable where this is leading too. We also have a "bad guy" who is a very good french actor you may have seen before! It's key that he is in the middle of this ... and what a key he is.
Fun times ahead and all around, if you let yourself enjoy this

Alice Pol is a gifted, very physical comedian. The movie was well cast, with the exchanges between the Minister and the RAID unit chief alone worth the price of admission. Farcical, but with a wonderfully Gallic flair.
