Lost Bullet (2020) Review

This film hit Netflix over the last few days and I have now had the chance to watch the French film Lost Bullet and here is my review for it. The premise of the film sees a criminal have to go on the run when his mentor is killed. 

Main Character

French actor Alban Lenoir plays the main character here and he does a fine job here. He is really good in the action scenes and looks like a legit action here. But his character isn't particularly interesting, we don't learn much about him and the film skips over really any character development here. 

Supporting Characters

The one supporting character who was interesting was Areska who was a villain, he isn't the most interesting character but he gives a strong performance and I enjoy his ending in this film. But the rest of the cast didn't have much about them, there is your generic action characters and the ones they try to give depth to it just doesn't work or make you care. 

Story

The biggest positive of the story is that is moves very quickly, it is pretty relentless and always keep you on your toes with some great action scenes. But as mentioned the relationships are not well developed and it really made it hard to care about pretty much all of the characters. 

Script

The script here isn't particularly good, there is not one bit of memorable dialogue here whether it is dramatic or humourous. If the script had been better then there was potential for the characters to be enhanced and made more interesting. 

Style

The style has some really great action scenes whether they be hand to hand or in cars. They feel violent and very brutal and really raise this above average action scenes. It also doesn't go on too long, it knows exactly what it is and keeps it's pacing moving on throughout. 

Overall

Overall, this is an average action film, it has great action scenes but lacks depth to rise it to a high standard of action film. If you want to watch a film where things crash and blow up then this might be worth having on in the background.

Rating - 5/10
