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 Clouzot's WAGES OF FEAR, it self already remade by the genius William Friedkin.... When I think in Alban Lenoir in Yves Montand or Bruno Cremer's roles...."Wages of fear" for me and the audiences.... So, at last - sorry - concerning this one, I expected far worse, precisely because of Lenoir'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....
