    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.

    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.

    Surprisingly Good

    AKA is a TV Movie, WTH???

    Hollywood should take notes and learn a lot from this film. This is a low budget so the special effect is basic. The fight choreography is very simple but excellently executed, but I'll elaborate further in the next paragraph. Soundtrack didn't ruin the film.

    The fight or action scene was surprisingly old school and excellently timed. The best things about the fight scenes are how effective and good the timings and movements were well planned and make sense as if it was directed by a martial artist coach for a marine or army.

    The actors act good, the main character is a bit too stoic but he was supposed to have an air of mystery. And then the direction of the director was very enjoyable. Almost like music video but with a specific street wise style.

    And in conclusion, this is one of the most enjoyable low budgeted action movie. The storyline might not win any award, but if you're looking for a good entertaining action movie, you'll like this.

    Bourne Identity & Taken & Nobody, French style

    I've always read imdb user reviews before, and this is my first time reviewing a movie, because this French movie AKA on Netflix surely deserves a review (there's none yet at the time of my writing).

    AKA is like a combination of some well produced movies that come to mind such as the Bourne series, Taken, Nobody, John Wick, Heat etc. Heroes who should just have been left alone. Heroes with good souls who have to decide who to protect, whose orders to follow, and what to fight for.

    There's a lot of action, fighting & shooting. But these are not the mindless kind of fighting. The script is not bad with unexpected stories and characters. The action hero is played by a French actor Alban Lenoir I have never heard of, who manages to play the role just as well as Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, or Keanu Reeves would have played had they acted in this movie.

    I give it 9/10. If I were the movie editor, some scenes could have been cut out and were not necessary, to reach a wider audience. Other than that, most of the characters were well played; the action scenes were done very well; the script was clever with an appropriate overlay of effective music soundtrack.

    Honestly surprised by how good this movie was. I watched it with a low expectation, so just pretend that you have not read my review, don't know anything about this movie, and watch it with no expectation or idea about the movie.

    AKA Great and brilliant action thriller gangster movie

    This is a great and brilliant thriller action gangster movie. Great plot and acting there isn't a single wasted scene in this movie plenty great action scenes.

    It,s the same great actor as Netflix movie Lost Bullet it,s kind of the french Jason Statham.

    The movie is entertaining,fun and I think it is very original also. The cinematography, locations and scenery are interesting and different.

    The film's atmosphere and pace are also terrific. The story is plausible but something too similar in relation to this kind of movies. But the fight and actions scenes are beautifully and originally structured for a action movie.

    There are a lot,s of cool action and fight scenes sequences in this movie. It,s a great and entertaining action thriller movie.
