However, not everyone was positive about the French action film and some shared their disappointment.

One viewer rated it 1.5 stars and wrote: ‘Thought I was getting an action-packed French spy thriller after the first 15 minutes. 

‘But its just a bizarre hour flashback and pointless side character buildup to a pretty standard climax. 

‘Overthought and underwhelming. Completely random paragliding sequence did its best to save the movie.’

‘The movie turned out to be very slow. Could not keep my attention.’

Someone else wrote on X: ’30mins into this movie AD VITAM and I’m still confused what the plot is. I mean, the movie ends in 40 mins.. why is it #2 on Netflix?’ 

Another on Rotten Tomatoes rated it two stars and wrote: ‘Really slow. Could have been a good story, but it’s not.’
