AKA (2023)

AKA (2023). AKA: Directed by Morgan S. Dalibert. With Alban Lenoir, Eric Cantona, Thibault de Montalembert, Sveva Alviti. A steely special ops agent finds his morality put to the test when he infiltrates a crime syndicate and unexpectedly bonds with the boss's young son.

“This action movie stars Alban Lenoir, the first French actor since Jean Paul Belmondo to play bad ass characters; except that Jean Paul Belmondo was a confirmed actor, one of the greatest French actor ever, which is not the case of Alban Lenoir, who is closer to Jason Statham or JCVD than Belmondo. OK, Lenoir made a terrific performance back in 2015 in UN FRANCAIS, a so powerful, bitter, gritty French film. I can already say, predict that Lenoir will never do better in the future. When I think that next year, he will play in the sequel of his 2015 other film ANTIGANG – pure garbage – and also in – Oh My God, I can hardly believe it – a remake of Henri George Clouzotu0026#39;s WAGES OF FEAR, it self already remade by the genius William Friedkin…. When I think in Alban Lenoir in Yves Montand or Bruno Cremeru0026#39;s roles….u0026quot;Wages of fearu0026quot; for me and the audiences…. So, at last – sorry – concerning this one, I expected far worse, precisely because of Lenoiru0026#39;s presence, but I was rather satisfied with the result; good directing, production design, but a story not flawless at all, overall predictable and a cheesy ending for my taste. An ending that could preview a sequel. Oh my God!!!! But with Alban Lenoir, remember him in BALLE PERDUE 1 and 2 craps, also for Netflix….”
