Of course some people just can not enjoy this kind of movie, finding it too shallow or whatever, but then again I wonder why they even bother to watch an action movie if they don't like this genre. Because an action movie it definitely is, and a good one in my opinion. Of course you have some exaggerated scenes but not too much and not too exaggerated like we're normally used to in this genre. A good French action movie, it's been awhile since I watched one, this one deserves a good rating. The story is simple in the beginning but there are some good twists towards the end which made it a movie worth watching. The acting was also convincing so give it a shot if you're looking for a good foreign action movie.
Ad Vitam is an engaging French police action film. I don't have too much experience with French Action cinema but this is good by any action-drama standard. The lead here, and his wife, are members of the elite French Gendarme. When the film opens there is clearly some police corruption scandal which has endangered the life of his wife and unborn baby. There is some good fighting and martial arts in this one. The action is good. The drama and the police corruption story keep you engaged throughout. The acting is decent, although I watched the Dubbed into English version so it is a little harder to tell how decent.
At the beginning of the film, it is interesting enough for the viewer to watch the film and the story depends on the heroic man for his family and his child who will be born through his wife. He faces all the difficulties that come to him with great precision and faces people who break into his house. One time he and his wife were captured, and with goodness the heroic man was able to save his wife and child through his friend. Who worked with them to ensure their protection, and the story was detailed from beginning to end.
My rating is very sure about this movie who need a very important watcher to review this movie.

Ad Vitam was for me and my wife a great ride hell.
The story took me on an emotional level mixed with suspense and lot of combat scenes.
It was interesting to watch inside the private life of the special forces GIGN of the French Gendarmes.
If you are looking for a fast paced movie with lot of action then this one will entertain you no doubt.
Netflix presented again another blockbuster that run already on number one of the international charts. Both leading actors Canet and Cortaillod delivered respectable top performance. Finally the director succeeded in making a good show time.
Congratulations to all the staff. It merita for this high value of entertainment a solid 7/10.
If you liked it see Sous la Seine.

This is a good thriller movie that shows the lives of elite military groups that spring into action in case of big/disastrous attacks. It shows a very important side of the lives of such people: family. Sometimes, we forget that the military people not only sacrifice their lives, they also sacrifice the comforts of staying with their family. And in unfortunate circumstances, these people give up their lives, casting a permanent shadow on the psyche of their loved ones. This film accurately depicts to what extent people can go to save their loved ones.
However, I feel that this movie is a slow peel, just like the peeling of an onion slowly and steadily. It gradually unfolds the lives and motivations of different characters. This is a fresh take, and I haven't seen thriller movies recently made in this style. But I am not sure if this will attract the fast-moving people of this generation who are addicted to 30-second reels on their phones.
