Netflix's new action drama movie AKA had a stirring ending

Netflix's new French movie AKA chronicled the compelling story of a merciless special ops agent named Adam Franco. It showed Franco developing a strong emotional bond with crime boss Victor Pastor's son, Jonathan, while on a mission to kill an alleged terrorist, Moktar Al Tayeb. Moktar was closely associated with the crime syndicate run by Victor Pastor.

Thus, Adam's first job on the mission was to infiltrate Pastor's group. During the mission, Adam became the bodyguard of Victor's son, Jonathan, after winning his trust. Adam soon started to see a kinder and more empathetic side of himself after meeting Jonathan and the two became quite close.

Towards the end of the Netflix movie, Adam’s support team which included Cisko and Mona, traced an important conversation between Victor and Moktar. The two were heard discussing a particular operation that needed to be executed the very next day. Thus, it became Adam's primary task to find out what this operation was all about.

Adam located Moktar and his cousin Assan and held the two at gunpoint. He asked them to disclose all the information about the crucial operation.

To his utter surprise, he found out that the discussed operation was simply a medical procedure that was supposed to be done on Moktar's daughter. The girl had suffered severe injuries in the attack at a hotel, and the operation was successfully conducted on her.

When Moktar was held at gunpoint by Adam, he asked for a last wish. The wish was to say a final goodbye to his daughter. The special ops team then ambushed them and Moktar was swiftly killed. Adam helped his cousin escape the place with Moktar's young daughter.
