Where to Watch: Netflix
"Lost Bullet" is a French action movie that was released on Netflix in June this year. Mentioning anything more than Netflix's summary would be giving away spoilers. That is how clichéd "Lost Bullet" is.
If I was to shift my focus to other French action movies I have seen, the first ones that come to my mind are "District 13" and its sequel "District 13: Ultimatum"; and "Nuit Blanche". There are other movies which may not be in the French language but have either a French Director or Production Company. The "Taken Franchise" consisting of three movies, the "Transporter Franchise" consisting of three movies, I beg your pardon they made four movies. A fourth one (which I am unaware of) was released in 2015 with the previous trilogy lead Jason Statham being replaced by Ed Skrein.
Movies of the "Transporter" and "Taken" Franchise used a lot of "shaky cam" which was both distracting and nauseating. Those movies also featured some "laughable and cartoonish villains". The good part about "Lost Bullet" is that it has some very well shot and realistic "action sequences", particularly a hand-to-hand combat scene half-an-hour into the movie and a tense car sequence towards the end of it without using "shaky cam".
"Lost Bullet" falls short on character development and a lack of emotional connection with its "main hero".
On the whole, this movie is mildly entertaining and if you have nothing better to do, you can give this guilty pleasure a go.
