If you’re a Netflix subscriber, then you definitely don’t want to miss AKA, the platform’s latest French production. Alban Lenoir this time has Adam Franco, the undercover agent, doing the dirty work where necessary.
His new mission? Join a mafia organization to prevent an imminent terrorist attack in Paris.
And the least we can say is that AKA is a real success, and not only in France. With 32 million hours watched in three days worldwide, it rose to the top spot among the most watched foreign language films internationally.
These figures allow it to beat far from the periphery and allow the best start of a French film. The numbers speak for themselves: AKA is a top 10 hit in 93 countries (including the US!).
Obviously, this is not the first time that our French production crosses our borders, but it confirms the appetite of Netflix subscribers for our action films, made in the purest tradition and without excessive CGI.
After Balle Perdue 1 and 2, Alban Lenoir confirms his beloved status. He will also soon be seen in another platform production – the remake of Wages of Fear – where he will answer to Frank Gastambide, Anna Girardot and Sofiane Zerman. Always in the action genre, of course.
AKA’s success may make Netflix comfortable with the idea of turning it into a franchise. It must be said that Morgan S. The ending of Daliberti’s film leaves the door open for a sequel. When asked, Alban Lenoir is not at all closed to this idea. To be continued.
