action
The film begins in Bogotá , Colombia . Secret agent Philippe Boulier, also known as the “Shark”, is responsible for overseeing the actions of Augusto Zargas, a former Argentine colonel and current arms dealer. In order to follow the movements of Augusto Zargas, the French secret service DGSE hides a microphone in the engagement ring of Marie-Laurence Granianski, an interpreter for the Consul General and one of Zargas' employees.
The plan threatens to fail when Mrs. Granianski wants to take a few days off to celebrate her wedding anniversary with her husband, the corporate psychologist Jean-Jacques. Boulier tries to sabotage the couple's relationship by coming up with a fake affair with the aim of getting Ms. Granianski to stay at the consulate. However, Boulier does not know that the secret service is putting his own fiancée, agent Isabelle, on Jean-Jacques Granianski. When the choleric Boulier finds out, his jealousy takes over and threatens to thwart the commission. But in the end Boulier can successfully complete the mission and Granianski reconciles with his wife.

Reviews
“Elaborately staged action comedy that mixes stupid things, parodic elements and slapstick without having any brilliant ideas; as stupid as it is silly. "
“The slapstick fun is staged at high speed and with brutal humor. Conclusion: rough squabbles among angry opponents. "
“The burlesque action comedy about the conflict between unrestricted service to the fatherland and piercing jealousy takes a wink of the entire men's code of honor on the grain. [...] In the role of the agent without fear and with little rebuke in the service of the Grande Nation, deep diver Jean Reno ("In the intoxication of the deep") convinces, at his side as a not entirely voluntary adulterer, the French well-known beyond the national border Actor Christian Clavier. Funny entertainment not only for Francophile film fans. "
