The Take (2016)

American pickpocket in Paris steals and discards a bag that had a hidden bomb in it. When it goes off, the CIA sends an agent (Idris Elba) to track him down. False leads, corruption and lots of great fight sequences later and we haven't seen anything new, but it's definitely a fun ride.

The chemistry between Elba and Richard Madden as the pickpocket is what sells this film. It's not quite a comedy, but it teeters right on the edge.
