In the latest French comedy directed by So Me, Vincent Cassel stars as an aging DJ forced to work with France’s intelligence agency.

Banger is the latest wild French comedy available on Netflix. Following the success of films like Nouveaux riches, Five, Fiasco, and Loin du périph, it’s clear that Netflix has tapped into a winning formula with French action comedies. Now, it’s Vincent Cassel’s turn to shine as he plays a washed-up version of David Guetta in Banger.

The film, penned and directed by So Me (real name Bertrand Lagros de Langeron), features two of the artist’s favorite actors: Vincent Cassel and Laura Felpin, who were also in the series 6 fois confinés (available on myCANAL). Interestingly, a character introduced in Banger makes a cameo in one of the segments of that series. Banger has been streaming on Netflix since April 2, 2025.

What’s the Plot of Banger?

Once a successful DJ and music producer, Scorpex has seen better days. Now in his fifties, he’s lost his popularity and longs to return to the spotlight. One day, Scorpex is approached by the French secret service to investigate his rival: the young and extremely popular Vestax, who has won over audiences everywhere. This mission could potentially restore the aging DJ’s former glory, but it turns out to be more challenging than expected.
