What do AlloCiné viewers think?

After Braqueurs or Bronx, the rapper Kaaris is back in the cinema, this time in front of Marc Fouchard’s camera for the film The King of Shadows which he had the idea. True to his universe, he plays Ibrahim, a suburban kingpin in a violent thriller against a backdrop of family conflict.

Embrace your weakness and try to make it a strength.” The mantra of the film is delivered by the father of Ibrahim and Adama (Alassane Diong) who became blind after an accident when he was a child. He delivers this adage which serves as a lifeline for Adama in the face of adversity. And he will have to draw inspiration from it after the death of the patriarch when his half-brother has no other objective than to impose his law by violence and force.

It didn’t take long for the film to rise to number one on Netflix. Three days after it was put online, however, it received a rating of 2.6 out of 5 (for 95 ratings, at the time of writing) from viewers on AlloCiné. The site currently counts 19 reviews which show that viewers are divided with 6 reviews rated at 5 stars and 6 others rated at 1 star.

Make your weakness your strength. That’s the title I would have given him. The Shadow King is just a good movie the way I like them, a good screenplay, good actors, a music, full-fledged actress of the story. I thought I was in my city, in the middle of the Fontenelles buildings, and then I said to myself, they all look alike, everywhere there is a city like that of the Troublons. Thank you for the emotions of this film to which I give 5 stars.(Veronique Benard)

Nothing, cliché, Kaaris who gives himself a genre. You surprise me that this film has only two reviews. No wonder it’s on Netflix too. When will Kaaris vs Mc Gabin. Brief…” (Patrick Batman)

Lack of morals. No need to waste 1h30 for this film it’s not worth it” (Lena Huet)

Really don’t waste 1h30 of your life watching this shit, they give the worst image a neighborhood can have and there’s no morals, the guy thinks he’s Arnold Schwarzenegger, mixed Pablo Escobar… She’s so dark the story it deserves to stay in the shadows.” (Assani Karim Ben)
