Moussa Mansaly

Moussa Mansaly’s filmography is honestly kinda wild when you dig into it. First up, “Colt 45” (2014) — yeah, there’s guns, there’s grit, and the whole vibe’s a bit rough around the edges, in a good way. Mansaly steps into this world like he was born with a badge and a chip on his shoulder, tangled up in a world where trust is basically a four-letter word. It’s not your classic cop flick; there’s a messy realism to it, like you can almost smell the gunpowder and nerves. Jump a few years and you hit “Validé” (2020). Now, this one’s a complete switch-up — we’re deep in the French rap scene, and it’s got that pulse, that raw energy. Mansaly brings something electric to the screen, weaving through all the backstage drama, jealousy, and the grind to make it in an industry that eats people alive. It’s sharp, sometimes brutal, and honestly? A lot more honest than most music stories bother to be. By the time “Overdose” (2022) rolls around, Mansaly’s range is just showing off. He slips into this crime thriller, which is all tension and bad decisions, like it’s nothing. The stakes are sky-high, and the pacing’s relentless. You get this sense that nobody’s safe, nothing’s certain, and Mansaly’s performance just keeps you on the hook. He doesn’t just act — he drags you into the chaos with him. There’s something magnetic about the way he does it, playing characters who are always two seconds from spinning out, but somehow, they keep it together. Barely.
