Almost Cops is a 2025 Dutch action-comedy directed by Gonzalo Fernandez Carmona, pairing two mismatched law-enforcement figures in a fast-moving crime caper set against an energetic Netherlands backdrop. Running 95 minutes, it blends slapstick with genuine suspense to deliver crowd-pleasing entertainment for fans of buddy-cop comedies.
What is Almost Cops about?
When a meticulous special investigator finds himself with no good options, he is saddled with a disgraced former detective who lost his rank after one too many reckless calls. The two men could not be further apart in temperament, style, or method, yet they share one urgent objective: track down a dangerous killer before the body count rises. As they blunder and bicker their way through the investigation, their clashing personalities create as many problems as they solve. The film builds its comedy out of professional humiliation, grudging mutual respect, and the chaos that erupts whenever the wrong person is given a badge — even temporarily.
Cast & crew
Director Gonzalo Fernandez Carmona steers an ensemble anchored by Jandino Asporaat and Werner Kolf in the central odd-couple pairing. Mark Rietman, Florence Vos Weeda, Juliette van Ardenne, Ferdi Stofmeel, Teun Kuilboer, and Daniël Kolf round out the supporting cast, giving the film the ensemble texture that buddy comedies depend on for their best running-joke momentum.
