If you remember the short lived TV Show Powers, you will find many similarities with this film. The same disillusioned cop working in a world that routinely manifests superheroes, a villain that attempts to extract superpowers from these people and use them himself and some children in danger so the stakes are raised. And that show was based on the comics written by Bendis in 2000 and this film is based on the book written by Gérald Bronner in 2007. And, as another user here was remembering, the really bad Project Power film also had a similar plot. So, nothing new, really.
Yet, for a French superhero film, it was pretty good. Nothing to tell your friends about, but empathetic characters and a decent story and special effects. Where it failed catastrophically, I believe, is in the relationship between the two cops. They had zero chemistry and the female character, which should have represented the point of view of the audience, was almost completely useless in terms of both capabilities and importance to the story. A decent effort, though.
