Last Bullet

Okay. The storyline is a bit confusing for some me way into the film but here's what I liked. The action sequences are extremely well executed. The motorcycle riding in the chase is very impressive (I am a bike rider) and the timing of the bystanders in their efforts to avoid being hit is pretty much perfect. The Alpine car (new one to me) was also driven very well with the collision sequence beautifully done. The locations for the chase are also very well chosen and as a Brit who loves the south of France I really enjoyed this. The characters are interesting and the hand to hand fighting very well coordinated. For these reasons alone I rate this film highly. However I started writing this before realising that I was watching part 3 of a trilogy which I hadn't been watching! So finally I'd like to say that the helicopter flying was insanely good and I'm now going to catch up with the first two!

Balle Perdue 3 is a little deception and a success in terms of mass kinetics. What did we like about Balle Perdue (2020) by the same Guillaume Pierret? Alban Lenoir, with his mineral charisma, his butch jaw that goes all the way to the end, and who carries a form of mystery. There was also a form of humor, if only visual, with the showcasing of cheesy cars, the Renault 5 and Renault 21, but which have a unique visual signature. We have elements of this here (Stefi Celma's apartment, Julie Tedesco's character, for example). And, of course, crumpled sheet metal and combat sequences in a variety of forms to compose a jubilant whole that lends itself to symphony.

There's not a lot of Alban Lenoir in this third franchise (the poster is misleading in this respect, even though it smells of old-fashioned posters), so it's a disappointment. The main dramatic arc is centered on Nicolas Duvauchelle, always very good, but his character hasn't aroused any empathy until now, and that's still the case; we're not interested in what happens to him. Stefi Celma is a little sacrificed (starting with her hairstyle), i.e. Secondary, in this third film, after her prominence, which we appreciated in Balle Perdue 2 (2022).

We like two characters who come to the fore in this third of the franchise, who are well seen: Julie Tedesco, who we're keen to see again, as a magician garage owner who knows how to manipulate irony; and Quentin D'Hainaut, who comes to the fore and whose contribution in the last quarter of the film suggests that we may see him again in a fourth... In terms of the franchise's main signature, the film is a success. Chases, fights, phenomenal action sequences that don't even smell of CGI porn. In this respect, the film is an impressive success. Motorcycles, cars, trucks, helicopters, streetcars - a multitude of action vectors are used, as well as shootouts and hand-to-hand combat. As for hand-to-hand combat, there's a beautiful sequence in a tramway, which comes close to Nobody's anthology bus sequence (2021, Ilya Naishuller) without matching it (it contains humor that we don't have here). There are also the extensions given to the vehicles, which are always impressive and contribute to the original visual elements that make the film unique.

There are some movies that really don't follow the paint by numbers method of creativity and this series is one of them. It's just a different sort of approach to action, car chase and our unlikely hero. When I watched the first movie, ten minutes in I remember thinking "what the hell is ths madness!" and teetered on the edge of switching off. But I didn't. Instead I found myself enjoying the ride and being entertained by what was unforlding on screen. Its actually quite strange because it is way more enjoyable than it should be for whats on offer. Which is to say, they've really maximised the good aspects of these movies.

That hasn't really changed, not in the second movie, and not in this one. The producers and director have stayed true to what works from the first movie, and given us to good follow ups in the saga that plays out almost like a TV mini series.

It's very French, very culturally different from what you get from Hollywood, but thats part of its charm. I throws the old well used tropes out the window and does its own thing.

Defintely worth the watch. I'm going to be somwhat generous with my score, with 7 rather than 6 becasue... its just a welcome change from the norm.

I have seen the earlier 2 editions which I really liked, this final edition is not the best one, but I still love the rock hard action and bleak and depressing feel and look of it.

The good: this series is a must see for the action fans who DO care about credible characters and who DONT care if the story is bleak and gritty and depressing.

Just as in the earlier 2 editions this one has got tons of riveting chases and bare knockle fights, but what is most enticing to watch is seeing the leading character endure this surge of violence and fight through it come hell or high water!

Recommended watch for the action fans. The French do definitely know how to produce great credible action flicks! Merci beaucoup!

I really enjoy this movie trilogy Lost Bullet people have to admit it the action in those movies is next level. I'm a huge fan of hardcore action movies and Alban Lenoir has become one of my favorite actors. He is amazing in those movies a role that no other actors could play in those movies, he is Lino seaking for it,s revenge.

Is Last Bullet a rehash of the first 2?, yes the concept is very similar but the movie is even better with some of the best actions scenes from the trilogy .It,s really fun to watch Lino kick ass like always and nobody can do stop him the fight scenes and car chase scenes are amazing! All the fans of the franchise and fans of thriller action movies will enjoy Last Bullet.

Last Bullet action and fight scenes are flawlessly choreographed sequences all are intense action sequences. Alban Lenoir is a great leading man and action hero is acting elevates the action to the highest level.

All car chases sequences are next level in this new movie and I'm pleased to say that Last Bullet features one of the most amazing and exciting car chases I've ever witnessed in a movie involving an helicopter.

Last Bullet has an outstanding editing and sound design that bring about new intensity to the trilogy. Last Bullet is one of the best thriller action movies on streaming.
