Squad 36 is a Netflix original movie, released on 2 February 2025. Netflix has also dubbed this movie in many languages. The genre of this movie is mainly based on Action, Crime, Drama and Thriller. By the way, is this movie really made so well and is its story interesting? I have watched the entire Squad 36 movie, and now I am giving this detailed review after analyzing it completely.
All the main cast of Squad 36
This movie is a French movie, so all its cast are French actors and actresses. It has main characters like Victor Blemondo (Antoine Carda), Tewfik Jallab (Sami Belkaim), Juliette Dol (Hanna Levasseur), Soufiane Guerrab (Richard Esteves), Lydia Andrei (Cecile Wagner), Sonia Bendhaou (Sofia Esteves) and Yvan Attal (Charles Balestra).
Among these, the most prominent role is played by Victor Blemondo. He is the main lead actor of this movie’s story and the whole movie revolves around him.
Squad 36 Movie Story – Brief Description
The film begins with Antoine Carda. He is a police officer and is posted in a very big department of the police department. This department directly commits group offense on criminals and suspects.
Apart from the job of a police officer, Antoine is also fond of fighting. He also earns extra income by participating in betting fighting.
Antoine has a very angry nature, and he vents out his anger by fighting. But he makes some such mistakes in his job, due to which he is removed from his department and sent to another police department. A big reason for this is also his participation in a fighting club.
He has many good friends in his old department, among whom Sami Belkaim and Hanna Levasseur are his closest friends. Hanna is not only his friend but also his girlfriend, and they both love each other very much.
When Antoine is removed from his old department and sent to the Police Investigation Department, within 6 months something bad starts happening to his old friends. His friends start going missing and some are murdered.
Sami Belkaïm’s wife meets Antoine and tells him about her husband’s disappearance. Hearing this, Antoine starts his unofficial police investigation. This part of the film may seem a bit useless or boring in the beginning, but from here the story turns into a crime and thriller and the film really becomes very interesting.
In this investigation, Antoine comes to know some deep secrets of his old police department. He understands that his old friends, despite being police, were involved in criminal activities. That is why they were being murdered.
Police Commissioner Cécile Wagner is angry with this investigation because she does not want Antoine to invest his brain and time in this. If I tell this story in more detail, the fun of watching the film will end.
How is the direction and visual of this film?
The director of Squad 36 movie is Olivier Marchal. Four assistant directors have also worked with him in the direction of this film. The story of the film keeps the audience engaged with thrill. Olivier Marchal and his team have given a decent direction to this film. However, I also saw some shortcomings in it, so I cannot say that the direction of the film was excellent.
The first 20 minutes of the film may seem very slow and nonsense. Its screen visual is based on dark theme. Many action scenes have been shot and visual edited in dark color theme. I would like to give this work 3 stars ⭐.
Overall, how is the acting performance in this?
This film is based on crime and action, so there is an atmosphere of seriousness in it. All the actors have tried to play this serious atmosphere very well. Its action scenes are also well made.
The main character of the film is Antoine, and he has maintained his seriousness in every scene. This kind of acting was needed to make this film stand out from other crime-thrillers. Victor Blemondo (Antoine) has done a fantastic job. I would give his acting performance 4.2 stars ⭐.
Is Squad 36 a great movie? Is it a must watch?
If you like thriller, crime and action packed movies, then this Netflix film is made for you. When I started watching this movie, its beginning seemed very slow and rubbish. But when I watched it completely, I realized that the opening scenes were the basic foundation of this movie, so they were necessary.
However, the background music of the movie could have been better. Still, this movie provides thrill. So, it is worth watching once on Netflix.
