Just on the weekend the movie came out, the film managed to become number 1 with 53 million hours of views. The 2nd week followed with 62 million hours of streaming. Despite the good numbers, the movie did terribly with critic reviews.

Well, despite all of these negative comments, there are, of course, a significant number of viewers who enjoyed the movie. We have prepared a list for viewers who want more movies like The Man from Toronto, meaning action films with a sprinkle of comedy and dramas full of action.
1. The Takedown

A sequel to the 2012 film On the Other Side of the Tracks, The Takedown (2022) is a French action-comedy starring Lupin‘s Omar Ty and the award-winning 2016 movie Elle’s Laurent Lafitte. The movie follows 2 cops from different backgrounds and life stories. Ty’s character Ousmane is an African immigrant and single dad who worked himself up to the ranks he is in now and is such a well-respected leader.
