69/100
"Lost Bullet" was a drama with action, "Lost Bullet 2" was wall-to-wall action and this one sort of balanced between the two. The story is simple but played very effectively with great characters and there's some good dramatic beats here. The action is great but not as over-the-top or as constant as the second film ..although the fireworks was a great gag. Exciting and quite tense, at times, you should enjoy this just fine if you don't expect it to be better than its predecessors. They didn't try to surpass themselves... they just gave us another fun movie. Enjoy with popcorn. -- DrNostromo.com

This is the latest in a series of French action films, that have a "Fast and Furious" vibe.
I enjoyed the previous efforts but his one, feels wholly uninspired. For one thing the story strains to go anywhere, terribly interesting.
Its cause is not helped by formulaic, tired action sequences and of course, a minor but obvious dash, of woke BS. On the upside, the acting is solid but it can't compensate, for other obvious deficits.
In summary, lets hope "Last Bullet" is just that. A pedestrian French action flick that misses the mark.

Impresses with inventive action and visuals but disappoints with reduced focus on Alban Lenoir, shifting drama to less engaging characters

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.
