Director: Benjamin Rocher
Eight years is a long time to wait for a chance at payback, and Niels Cartier has spent every one of them replaying the night that ended his career and took his wife's life.
What is The Squad Home Run about?
Once one of the most effective operators the Antigang unit ever had, Niels was forced out after a raid collapsed and cost him the person he loved most. The robbers behind that night stayed hidden for years, and Niels never stopped tracking them. When they finally resurface, he drops the caution that kept him alive and throws himself back into their path — only this time his 14-year-old daughter, sharp-tongued and unwilling to be left behind, insists on riding along, turning a solo mission into something closer to a two-person demolition crew.
Cast & crew
Alban Lenoir carries the physical weight of the role as Niels, handling most of his own stunt work in the film's set pieces, while Jean Reno appears as a figure from his past inside the unit. Sofia Essaïdi and Stéfi Celma fill out key supporting parts, and newcomer Cassiopée Mayance holds her own opposite Lenoir as the daughter who refuses to sit this one out, giving the film's action scenes an unexpected family dynamic.
Context & significance
Director Benjamin Rocher, who has built a career around French genre cinema, keeps the pacing tight and the fight choreography grounded rather than stylized. Home Run continues a run of French action pictures that trade Hollywood-scale budgets for hand-to-hand combat and car chases shot on real streets. Released in 2023, it positions itself as a sequel expanding on an earlier chapter of Niels's story, aimed at fans who want their revenge thrillers with a personal, almost domestic edge running underneath the violence.
