    An Alright Movie

    This is pretty much France's answer to Project Power, and like that movie this one as well was just okay. I didn't care about any of the characters, the story was predictable, and the score was incredibly bland & uninspired. It does have pretty good performances, some cool fights, decent visuals and cinematography, and above average directing.

    Better go in with low expectations and you might not mind it for what it is.

    Very Enjoyable, Much More Human

    My family watched this tonight. We enjoyed it immensely.

    The characters seem much more down to earth and relatable. Then, there are the usual tropes but they are executed in a more intimate manner than many of the DC/Marvel/et al stories.

    I am hoping this becomes a series that Netflix helps to develop.

    I would recommend it - especially on a boring, late, Thursday night.

    Loved it! I hope there will be series! or sequels

    What a great movie. We did not want it to be finished.

    Much much better that all the terrible movies that have been out there lately.

    Highly recommended!

    French superheroes and policemen vs very evil and dangerous drug dealers

    Not awesome, but entertaining film about an alternative Paris where there are many (generally not so powerful) superheroes. Drug dealers are selling a new addictive made with... superhero blood! It makes users emulate the very same superpower for some time. Then, superheroes are being hunted. A policeman who loves candies, seems unruly and has a fruendship with a few former superheroes is the one who is designated to deal with crimes involving superheoes. A new partner will work with him, a policewoman, and their relationship did not start well. The rest of the story is well done, although predictable. Details are being added and they make sense. Pack Royal is a nice superhero team, and so is the relationship Moreau has with its members. I did not like the main villain, although his background story is interesting enough. Worth watching. I will deffinitely watch the sequel if Netflix makes it.

    It was not bad

    Though it was reminding me Project Power film from 2020 but this version wasnt that bad. It was enjoyable as i do enjoy superhero type movies.

    Many people now n days may rate a movie based on the plot or idea has been done and give them low scores But me i feel why do we have to rate a film based on how it compares to another one?

    We should be rating movies based on the movie itself and how well it is. I seen someone give a 1/10 because it was similiar to project power lol and the guy seemed confused saying its the same movie but different title lmao.

    Goes to show some people just didnt watch the whole movie before rating low scores 😂

    Its time people quit with the "Oh its been done already" or "nothing fresh in plotline" and just sit back, watch the movie and then rate it afterwards based on how well they did on their own Not comparing to other similar films.
