Is the movie My New Partner available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
Claude Zidi’s My New Partner (Les Ripoux) is a rue‑side, buddy‑cop comedy set in the gritty backstreets of Paris, where a streetwise policeman who takes kickbacks sets out to corrupt an idealistic rookie fresh from the police academy. Equal parts moral tug‑of‑war and comic caper, the film turns patrol beats and small-time crooks into a playground of compromise and charm. A big hit in France that even picked up César recognition, it remains a landmark of 1980s French cinema. In this article, we’ll check whether you can stream it today on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+.
Synopsis
On the gritty streets of Paris, a jaded patrolman who takes payments from small-time crooks to keep the peace is partnered with a bright-eyed rookie fresh from the academy. Determined to preserve his comfortable arrangement, the veteran quietly erodes the newcomer’s idealism, showing him how to navigate — and profit from — the moral gray zones of policing. As their uneasy alliance deepens, both men are forced to confront how far they’ll go to survive in a system that rewards compromise.
