Bala Perdida

Those who made negative reviews are stupid and don't know how review.

No, its not a Fast and Furious type movie, neither ia Mad Max one. So don't come expecting this.

Nice story. Not original, but nicely built, intriguing and makes sense. Acting is good and helps story's development.

It not a Hollywood movie, but as a French action thriller is much better than Earth and Blood, and as I mentioned before, at least this movie has a story and is not just stupid action just because...

The action is awesome, not ridiculous as FnF would be, it feels ls more realistic. Yes, it has some sorts of MaD Max elements for his modified cars, but it doesn't feel like that. Its action is unique.

Effects, both practical and cgi, are outstanding for not being Hollywood. Wounds, bruises, makeup is amazing. Together with the action, seem credible, something close to what could really happen.

So in summary : Don't come expecting what critics want you to compare the movie with. Watch it as a unique movie, and enjoy it. You'll see that it deserves appreciation.

Good intrigue and realistic car chase. Logical story board and action scenes, compared to USA big budget sequels... keep it up!!!

Simple, fun, enjoyable and stylish. Not sure where the review saying everyone was anorexic came from as everyone seemed perfectly normal (albeit not obese so maybe European normal). Anyway, not ground breaking by French standards (and as has been correctly pointed out those are different from Hollywood) but a good addition to the genre.

If you are a action movie fan then you would love this film; it has car chases, good choreographed fights, although the fights are a bit of gore, The action scenes are solid, if not spectacular.. The story is plain and with few simple characters: A wicked cop willing to climb the precinct corporate ladder no matter what and with no qualms for murder and a wizard mechanic in preparing cars to make it go fast to chase offenders gets hired by the police. Both get embattled in a fight for all or nothing. Fun and action is what this movie offers.

Let me first say, that for an international French film, by a newb (his first full length feature film) writer and director, Guillaume Pierret, this film was one heck of a ride. I agree with most reviewers that this should not be compared to any Hollywood blockbusters (my title was being facetious). Albeit not overly original, this fun action/crime film was really well put together. The writing was tight and the directing on point. I've seen seasoned writers and directors come up with some flop films lately, so it's refreshing for a new filmmaker to come up with an almost flawless production. The 92 min runtime was just right, and the pacing was perfect. Cinematography was good, and the score surprisingly fitting for a B-grade international production. Casting was well put together with all performances convincing, especially the French Jason Statham looking, Alban Lenoir as Lino. I'm glad they left it open for a sequel, and hope they follow through. A well deserved 8/10 from me. To see more of my 1000+ ratings and 900+ reviews, click on my username.
