AKA doesn’t add any new wrinkles to the undercover cop genre; but Florent Astolfi’s cinematography is suitably moody, Etienne Forget’s score provides texture and drive, and Lenoir and Dalibert (who co-wrote the script) keep the conflicts clear.

Keith & the Movies

(Dalibert) and Lenoir spend a lot of time developing their characters. It’s not especially deep, but we get a good sense of everyone’s position, perspective, and personality. And it all unfolds with a reasonably satisfying amount of suspense.

Rated: 3.5/5

The gritty action-pic has its moments when it chills, as the hero uses his fighting skills.

While the plot is familiar and doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary, the storytelling and thrilling action sequences make AKA an entertaining watch and worth checking out for diehard fans of the genre.

John Sooja

Common Sense Media

The action is well-paced, choreographed, and sequenced, and the story is compelling enough, even though it borrows its ideas from many other thrillers that have come before it.

Rated: 3/5

Even though AKA had all the characteristics to be a fun action movie, it resulted in disappointment. [Full review in Spanish]

Uff. I mean, great acting, gritty, rich story, surprising twist: all very good. But, boy. Lots and lots of people die. Good people, bad people. People working for gang 1 or gang 2 or cops or undercover agents. The few that are not dying are the main actor (who is, in the end, rather unlikeable in how cold-blooded he kills everyone) and two kids. Too much.

Confusing story line. Trying too hard. Isis, France, drugs, police, family drama, kidnapping, a sick child, and more stereo typical things all mixed together. Good action but nothing special.

Good action, the storyline made sense but there wasn't enough of it. We didn't really know the motivation of anyone in the show. You can guess what could have happened to make people the way they were and they did give some back story eventually to the main guy, but why did he do the first scene? Why were others the way they were, what were they actually doing at the moment? It was unclear.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
