I loved the two first films , back in 2006 and 2009. It took a long time before the third one of the franchise; Jean Dujardin seems to be the same and the overall structure and atmosphere too. I love his character, who is still the same, no matter the directing and overall story. He is the perfect, pure anti hero: idiot, mysoginist, racist, full of biases, uncultivated. This is precisely the purpose of this film, I repeat, forget the story itself. It is not the worst of the series and despite the fact that I don't like comedies, I prefer them compared to the sixties OSS 117 features, very "serious" ones, spy movies in the right fashion of those years, more or less 007 like movies. With the settings in Africa, this is of course the perfect location to instal the atmosphere of the franchise: lead character's racism, so obvious, and also the pretext to evoke the French politics since so many decades in Africa.
