While The cage will have a season 2, the MMA continues to be a scriptworthy backdrop for French-speaking Netflix productions since the streaming platform takes us out That’s A feature film full of well-burned promises which intends to give us our dose of action for the weekend.
The film allows you to find the director Antoine Blossier who had disappeared from the head of a feature film for seven years, and his Rémi without familybut above all offers the first role to the fighter of MMA Ciryl Gane. This is the second time that the heavy goods vehicle has attempted its retraining on the screen after having shone in the role of the furniture in Lol season 5. Pardon Ciryl, on t’aime Ciryl.

What is KO’s story?
Since he caused the death of his opponent in the octagon, Bastien abandoned the MMA and has led a recluse life. When the widow of his former rival comes to ask him to help him to find his disappeared son, Bastien cannot refuse.
For her part, the Kenza policewoman (Alice Belaïdi) also tries to find the boy, the only witness to a crime committed by one of the most dangerous gangs in Marseille, also in the footsteps of the young man. Bastien and Kenza, without support, will quickly collaborate in a trial race outside the legal tracks.
Defeat by KO?
From the first minutes, our survival instinct is put to the test when we are forced to note that the professional convertible of Gane will not be a long quiet river and that the colossus still has a way to go. Fortunately for us, we quickly realize that he is not the only one to suffer in history, since no other member of the cast, even among the most experienced, seems comfortable in his sneakers.
Faced with an actor direction that can be assumed below needs, the actors are content to plunge to the cliché of their characters and we thus have the choice between over-plan or nonjeu. Without a net and without much experience, we can feel that Gane has a thorn in the foot and it seems completely lost from one scene to another. And yet, We recognize that he is trying to put his With a lot of desire and will. What does not work today could perhaps walk tomorrow, if we don’t burn the steps with the guy. Within a better story for example.
The scenario itself could have come out of the mind of a contemporary olive tree, a bad Olivier Marchal therefore, based on corruption, drugs, gangs and cops very bored by legality. Obviously, the action could therefore not take place elsewhere in Marseille, the cinematic capital of baby crime. Afterwards, he will not be removed that Blossier, also a scriptwriter, knows that his story is only accessory and does not last the thing more than 90 minutes. Which remains long enough given the Freewheel dialogues in the mouth of biped caricatures Always more ridiculous from one scene to another.
You will understand, at this stage, That is not the most sharp knife in the Netflix catalog and just is he trying to surf algorithmic trends, just to complete the month of all these little people and justify the French accounting of the SVOD service. If again, he was generous in action …
A lack of harmful generosity since it must be recognized that when Gane and Blossier drop the horses, we appreciate what we see! You have to believe that the nightclubs inspire the filmmakers since after Ravage -always at the top of the action sequences -, That Also play the regulations card under neon for its best scene! Gane can finally justify his check there with violent choreographies for about fifteen minutes where the blows hurt.
A good piece that is accompanied by another as a conclusion where, again, we feel that the director and the actor understand each other and, above all, understand what was expected of them. The scenes are pissed off, the camera accompanies the movements and the impact of the latter and there is no longer any difficulty in imagining Gane Triballe its giant carcass in this kind of productions in the future. Actor not yet, Castagneur we do not say no.
Inevitably, it would take more to make That A proposal worthy of this lasting name, especially since there is no shortage of films, whether in theaters with Ballerina or on Netflix even (The Night Comes For Us, Ravage). Two, three sequences hitting just cannot save a majority systematically tapping next. Even when you like action cinema. But, that is enough for us to remember something sympathetic anyway saving him from absolute sinking and that we do not want to rub in Ciryl Gane to soon.
