Beyond originality, the sequel is focused on providing gimmicks that will delight fans of the fantastic first film.
The 2020 action thriller Lost Bullet is considered to be one of the most enjoyable Gallic action movies ever made and sets up a thrilling stunt show in a midst of an engaging, yet simple narrative. Through the years, mainstream French cinema has developed the action thriller into a distinct genre with an entirely different flavor in comparison to the Hollywood version, exemplified in movies like Leon: The Professional, Point Blank, District B13, or the series La Femme Nikita as well as a host of others. Guy Pierret’s Lost Bullet (originally called Balle Perdue in French) was a great addition to the list of films. There was always a sequel.
Lost Bullet 2 brings back the franchise’s star Alban Lenoir. The story begins where the first film left off. For those who were early, the film starred Lenoir as Lino who is a crook of a smaller scale who has a talent for transforming regular automobiles into amplified vehicles. To avoid being sentenced to jail when a heist fails, Lino agrees to work with the police task team. The suspense thriller unfolds with the loss of his mentor and brother, who are both killed by corrupt police officers, and then the ex-con is charged with murder. The former gangster is required to locate a car that is missing that holds the sole evidence that he is innocent -the bullet.
Like with the original film, the lead actors Lenoir along with director Pierret work together as screenwriters for the sequel as well. They were clearly worried to provide more of the same formula that worked the first time around and preserving the high-octane pace of the narrative as well as the action’s execution. The beginning of the film gives just a brief glimpse of the events that transpired in Lost Bullet, to backdrop the sequel against the backdrop of the original. Briefly speaking, the story begins in Lost Bullet 2 following the demise of teacher Charas, Lino is determined to track down the person responsible. The police officer Julia (Stefi Celma) who has an affinity for Lino, is back from the first film also and receives more in the action. A new narcotics team has been established and she’s assigned to head its tasks. The tale focuses on the illegal drug trade that occurs in France and Spain which creates the possibility of an action sequence that highlights the highway that involves French and Spanish police officers.
Lenoir is Lino is gaining recognition as more than an engineer, but also a formidable driver who has a wealth of fighting skills. The result is that the main character is a sort of superhero using his customized car as an arsenal of special powers’. In a way, other than an original story screenwriters from the franchise are more focused on the tricks and stunts that help the story unfolds.
The script of Scriptwise, a revenge-based drama with criminals and fast cars could be reminiscent of, for instance, The Fast And Furious series Hollywood. In the event that Lost Bullet films have managed to create a unique space away from the wildly successful Vin Diesel franchise, it’s due to the fact that Lenoir and Pierret give the story an authentic, gritty edge visually and in regard to the violence that takes place. Without putting a halt to the action or hindering the flow of the action-adventure, Lost Bullet 2’s script Lost Bullet 2 as with its predecessor attempts to accommodate a glimpse of the social and political realities regarding ethnicity and class as well as visualize its characters and the backdrop. In the process, corruption within the system is eloquently highlighted as it sets up unexpected twists in the script. There is a sense of dystopic agitation while Lino as well as his altered vehicle are engaged in a game of stunts and chase sits very Mad Max in a way, yet it’s not too complicated and at times too French in its imagination to be an exact copy of the famous Hollywood series.
The effect, however, is mediocre. The direction of Pierret is focused on maintaining a high-speed pace and establishing a humorous action plot. Lost Bullet 2 is designed to be the continuation of a recurring story, however, it can be a stand-alone adventure also (to completely enjoy the sequel, you should definitely watch the original film before you get down to the second film to ensure that you don’t miss the significance of the drama and the characters that return). Pierret’s style is constantly setting up the perfect setting for VFX-laden thrilling action, including car chases, with the intention to delight the faithful fans that the film’s first movie won. The result will keep fans of the franchise happy.
In a film that tells an action story that is based on a single sequence of events Lino’s retribution as well as getting the criminals in jail -the film, Pierret makes use of the running time of about 99 minutes to establish an edgy pace. While adhering to the standard demands and never attempting to create something truly unique The narrative is able to keep the interest of viewers through the creation of drama in specific scenes. The frequent, long-drawn violence and car chases create the impression that the movie is being told in real-time, however, the style can become boring after a few minutes.
Despite the focus on a strong thrill quotient, which often is bordering on gore director Pierret allows for bizarre emotional moments. They are enjoyable amid the raucous action but do little to the overall plot. The storyline offers the relationship between Lino and Julia a predictable twist. Because Lino is adamantly honest when taking on his revenge, while Julia is a steadfast law enforcer The screenplay allows for the drama of her following the criminal to stop his blunders. The screenplay, in general, places Stefi Celma’s Julia as the “good guy” Lino’s bad-boy protagonist in the story that is an unwritten formulaic divide between two heroes where the main character stays within the limits of the law, while the other one will do whatever it takes to achieve what he desires.
Pierret’s direction is well-supported by cutting-edge technology, such as cinematography (Morgan S. Dalibert) and editing (Sophie Fourdrinoy). Romain Trouillet’s background score helps the story in a significant way by mixing generic music with the sounds of the streets in the fast-paced chase scenes. Technically speaking, Lost Bullet 2 isn’t as expensive as a Hollywood film of the genre, but it is stylish enough. With a closing scene that suggests Lino and co. will certainly travel a third time We hope for some clever twists as it progresses.
