Nicolas rated ★ 6/10
Pour un film français, Farang met une clac monumentale en termes de film d'action. D'une justesse dans le cadrage et les chorégraphies tellement bien calibré, que le film te laisse des traces a coup de poing dans la face. Malgré la pauvreté du scénario et l'histoire écrite sur du PQ, le film reste néanmoins véritablement beau et ultra entraînant, pour peu que l'on aime le cinéma de bastos.
