LOST BULLET 3 (LAST BULLET (Bolle Perdue 3) (France 2025) ***
Directed by Guillaume Pierret

 

LAST BULLET begins with a short recap of the films and incidents that lead to the final instalment of LAST BULLET or LOST BULLET 3.

The "Lost Bullet" franchise consists of three French action thriller films directed by Guillaume Pierret and starring Alban Lenoir.  The first movie, "Lost Bullet," was released in 2020, followed by "Lost Bullet 2: Back for More" in 2022, and finally "Last Bullet" was released on May 7, 2025. 

The breakdown of the franchise:

"Lost Bullet" (2020):
A small-time delinquent, Lino is forced to become a police mechanic for a task force after his mentor is killed by corrupt cops, and he must defend his innocence. 
"Lost Bullet 2: Back for More" (2022):
Lino, now cleared and working for a new narcotics unit, seeks revenge on the corrupt cops who killed his brother and mentor. 
"Last Bullet" (2025):
The third and final installment, where Lino, having just left prison, continues his pursuit of vengeance against Areski, the person responsible for Charas' death. 

The film can be loosely described as a French version of THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS.   The trouble is that American audiences have been flooded with these movies as well as a splurge of action films recently that include THE ACCOUNTANT 2, the new MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, SHADOW FORCE, and A WORKING MAN, just to mention a few.

In this final and third installment, Netflix continues to deliver all the explosions, gunplay, and car chases that any action fan could possibly want and expect.  The film is a continuation, so it is best that one keeps up to date with the story.  The “indestructible” car genius Lino returns to conclude his vendetta against the crooked cop who destroyed his life.

The film begins with Lino freshly released from prison and quickly gearing up to enact his vengeance and see justice prevail.  It i the same oldster that quickly leads to tedium, no matter how hard the actors try.   The action set pieces are top notch, especially the chases, which by now is expected to be the standard for action films.

LOST BULLET 3 (LAST BULLET (Bolle Perdue 3) opens for streaming this week on Netflix.
