    Alban Lenoir, Ces't Nouvou Jean Reno!

    What a nice action gem. The cinematography is fabolous. It's very much like Hard Boiled; Die Hard and all those big 1990's action movies rolled into one.

    Alban Lenoir is a star! Such cinematic presence with chic style and gaelic flair! C'est bon! Wow. Eric Cantona can act as well. Some great lines from him.

    The storyline is a nice twist and turn and not at all mundane like most cliche gangsta movies. It's refreshing and stylish with some magnificent direction.

    Saïdou Camara does a great cool calm and collected job of Pee Wee. Philippe Résimont is also a class act. The scene of the heist is very much like John Woo's Hard Boiled and Michael Mann's Heat as well as Die Hard. The drugs' den takeout is very much stylised like Oldboy but with guns instead of a hammer.

    It's a nice movie and something I can easily watch again. It's popcorn entertainment and another gem in the recent French cinema wave. Just keep them coming!

    Morgan S. Dalibert your cinema reminds me of Jean-Pierre Melville! Super!

    Action, drama, thriller with fantastic performances

    The rating (6.7) doesn't justify this beautiful movie.

    Take Jason Bourne and John wick and add alot of emotions and drama and realness.

    The action is very raw, the suspense keeps you on the edge from start to finish, some twists here and there and the performances are the real treat here.

    Specially from the main character. How he is Introduced and where he gets at the end of movie is understandable. Unlike many big action/thriller (big budget) movies, you actually understand every characters decision making. Even those who don't get much time for character development.

    For a Netflix movie, it can't get much better. We need more of this Netflix. Budget well spent.

    Better than you'd expect

    First the film is in French, so if you speak french or don't mind reading subtitles it's a solid choice.

    It's kind of a Jason Bourne / Extraction type film, but done in a more realistic manner. Magazines aren't always magically full, the bad guys don't die from one shot while the good guys get shot 5 times and keep fighting, and while the hero is heroic, he's not completely impervious to the bad guys like a lot of action movies portray heroes.

    Alban Lenoir does a great job being a badass and doesn't ruin the movie trying to look cool or have some stupid catch phrase that makes it cheesy. I definitely would watch another movie where he's the hero.

    The action is really great, the sets are good, and you can stay immersed in the story pretty easily. The story is good and has a couple twists, but there's a couple of predictable times as well which was a little disappointing.

    The fight scenes and shootouts are really good, the close quarter fighting is stellar but some of the long range shooting is not as good as it could have been. Hero not having enough cover, the missed shots causing little explosions, etc...

    Overall a really solid action movie that won't disappoint you, If it were in English (I don't mean dubbed), I think more people would be talking about it.

    Intense Action-Drama From The Creators' Team Of "Lost Bullet"

    AKA French action movie on Netflix created by the team Lost Bullet. The story follows an undercover agent who must face an emotional test when he infiltrates a gang of criminals and unexpectedly forms a close bond with the boss's son.

    This is an action-drama movie with well-written plot details that successfully blend moral principles with the role of a killer spy. Despite Alban Lenoir not having a traditionally handsome appearance, his acting skills in this movie are much more impressive compared to his previous work in "Lost Bullet." His intense solo action scenes are still present even though the movie emphasizes more on the drama aspect. Overall, this is a highly recommended streaming movie that should not be missed.

    Watch the latest French release for Alban Lenoir's action scenes!!

    I chanced upon this French crime-action-thriller on Netflix and was totally taken aback by the planning and execution of it's action scenes, though it is not a genre that I particularly enjoy.

    Alban Lenoir, the co-writer & lead actor of the film looks ultra-skilled and effortless in both hand-to-hand combat and close range shooting scenes.

    There is enough blood and gore in the movie, but still the movie appears realistic. Even though the body count is high, the act in itself is never glorified.

    Amidst all the blazing guns and bullet wounds on his body, Alban Lenoir's Adam Franco, the protagonist turns out to be quite headstrong in protecting young children, which adds the required humanity angle to the film.

    The story unfolds at a relatively slower rate, but it's never boring. Your 122 minutes are well taken care of.
