AKA sees the character of Alban Lenoir complete his mythology after Lost Bullet (2020) and Lost Bullet 2 (2022). Here, he joins a gang led by Éric Cantona, made up of more or less broken arms and incompetents, as part of an infiltration process that makes this an investigative crime film with espionage elements at stake in the French services' investigation.
Compared with the two Lost Bullet films (it's inevitable to compare AKA with these), all three of which were directed and co-written by Alban Lenoir: he creates a mythology of action heroes with brawn and brains, even ethics, in a "low-tech" style, i.e. Without excessive digital technology. In comparison, AKA seems a little clumsy and less dramatic than Lost Bullet.
Once again, it's worth noting that the female characters aren't just a foil; they hold the key to the dramatic arc.
The overall dramatic line also lends a certain interest in the film, in which our hero, Alban Lenoir, finds himself (re)involved in a battle between things he never imagined and is therefore forced to revise his bearings: Eric Cantona's child, for example.
Betrayal was the mechanic of two Lost Bullet films; it is again in this one, which fuels the twists and turns and keeps the viewer captivated over time.
