Synopsis
“Ad Vitam” is a 2025 French action thriller directed by Rodolphe Lauga, featuring Guillaume Canet as Franck Lazareff, a former gendarme entangled in a perilous conspiracy following the abduction of his pregnant wife, Léo, portrayed by Stéphane Caillard.
The film opens with high-octane sequences that set an intense pace. However, it soon transitions into an extensive flashback aimed at providing character backstory, a narrative choice that has garnered criticism for disrupting the film’s momentum. Elisabeth Vincentelli of The New York Times noted that this detour “may be designed to provide emotional weight, but it only creates belly fat.”
