Aka is a French-style gangster thriller that has its main appeal in showing Eric Cantona playing a Scarface. Too bad he isn’t up to it.
Aka is a French film directed by Morgan S. Dalibert starring Alban Lenoir and Eric Cantona. Yes, the one from Manchester United.
About the movie
Bad guys, very “badass” in a movie that Guy Ritchie would have done much better.
The star this time is not Cantona, featured almost as a commercial claim for the film, but this actor called Alban Lenoir who, with his very manly features, fits the role to perfection … A quite different matter is if the role is worth it or if the movie has enough dramatic intensity to demonstrate anything beyond knowing how to hold a gun (there are others in Hollywood who do not even know how to do that).
As for the Movie: zero sense of humor...

"Meet Adam Franco. His new mission: infiltration. The only possible cover: His actual identity." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a French crime thriller titled Aka, an action film arriving for streaming at the end of April. A steely special ops agent finds his morality put to the test when he infiltrates a syndicate and unexpectedly bonds with the boss's young son. In this intense new action thriller, Adam Franco goes undercover in a criminal organization and gets into more trouble. Alban Lenoir stars in this as Franco, along with Éric Cantona, Thibault de Montalembert, Sveva Alviti, and Saïdou Camara. This has a generic plot involving an undercover guy getting too close to the people he's supposed to be following, but with French sensibilities. It's directed by the cinematographer of the two Lost Bullet action films previously. // Continue Reading ›...

After breaking ground in France, Franck Gastambide’s hit Canal Plus show “All the Way Up” (“Validé”), a comedy drama series unfolding on France’s vibrant rap scene, is set to roll out around the world. Canneseries opened Friday with season two of the show.
