Balle perdue 3

The final installment in the French action series starring Alban Lenoir now streaming on Netflix. Picking up where the last film left off, we follow Lenoir's nemesis, Nicolas Duvauchelle, working in Germany when a hit squad comes a-calling, killing his girlfriend & sending him on the run. Lenoir has been released from jail (he was imprisoned in the last film) & the moment he breathes some free air, he hears about Duvauchelle's imminent return to France which sends him into shark mode to track him down while some nefarious types (a corrupt police squad) are also after him which bears witness to some juicy car carnage & equal amounts of non-sensical plotting w/the final chase having Lenoir use his mechanical skills to strap projectile cannons to the rear of his truck to take down the pursuing forces which include an airborne helicopter. A perfect movie to chomp popcorn with is what you're left with & I'm not necessarily mad about that.

First I want to say, I saw this movie on Netflix but I didn't know it was a trilogy. So I stopped watching the third movie before it even started I knew something was not right. I searched for the other two movies before watching the 3rd movie. The first 2 I watched in one night 😅 then the next day, I finally went back and finished the 3rd movie. Let me tell you something all 3 movies are insane and crazy I hope yall can make the 4th movie soon. I freaking loved it. Good work fellas you earned 10 stars on all 3 movies. Let me know when you guys make the next movies Thank for all you hard work peoples.

I would say that this series probably didnt need to be a trilogy but its appreciated to get an actual end instead of things being left in limbo. Lino once again is trying to finnaly track down his brothers murder and we start with how the last film left off but with a little action sequance involving a granade at the star which I liked. No one told him his car was trashed and so he has a new one made that he then wreaks during yet another car chase. I liked the pickup truck after though but this chase was less enjoyable compared to the last film. Still good action though and acting and a decent end to the trilogy.

I know the saying goes with least ... but since the previous two movies where called Lost Bullet ... well I thought I'd go with that. I am also not entirely sure what it would be referring to in the movie ... but hey what do I know? Well I do know that my puns as always are not intended.

I really loved the first two movies and while there is a recap for those who missed the previous installments, I would suggest you watch them ... not just because they are superior ... but because you will get more out of the characters and the depth ... the feeling so to speak. I understand that some people might have missed the point of this completely ... especially when unaware of the two previous movies.

This may not be up there with the other movies, but it still has some super fine car stunts ... and the fighting inside a public transportation ... straight out of Shang Chi? Well I am quite certain they had way less money here ... and yet it still looks impressive.

The story and the (re)solution are not as satisfying as I would hope them to be ... but if you are in love with the main character (speaking in platonic terms mostly, but not judging if you feel more) ... well you will dig this too. So more of an "ordinary" action movie in the end ... and yet, the actors and the action make it somewhat worth it.

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.
