File 13 (film)

File 13 (French: Filière 13) is a Canadian crime comedy film, directed by Patrick Huard and released in 2010.

[1] The film centres on Thomas (Claude Legault), Benoît (Paul Doucet) and Jean-François (Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge), three bumbling police officers who unexpectedly stumble into an opportunity to try to capture Fecteau (Jean-Pierre Bergeron), a high-ranking figure in the sponsorship scandal who has managed to elude arrest for several years.

[2] The supporting cast includes Élisabeth Locas, Marie Turgeon, Anik Jean, André Sauvé, Sharlene Royer, Laurent Paquin, Carmen Ferlan, Monique Spaziani, Luc Senay, Jean Petitclerc, Annick Léger, Widemir Normil, Daniel Boucher and Emmanuel Auger.

The film was made by the same production team, and featured the same three primary stars, as The 3 L'il Pigs (Les 3 p'tits cochons), but was not a sequel.

[4] Choquette had cast Legault as Jean-François and Lemay-Thivierge as Thomas, with Huard choosing to swap their roles as he felt they fit the actors better.
