Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating
A small time delinquent, turned police mechanic for a go fast task force, is forced to defend his innocence when his mentor is killed by dirty cops.
Lost Bullet is a serviceable French action-thriller that delivers competent car chases and a straightforward dirty-cop narrative without much originality. The plot follows a well-worn template of the wrongly accused man clearing his name, offering few surprises. Acting is solid, particularly Alban Lenoir in the lead, lending authenticity to the Marseille setting. Cinematography is functional and kinetic during action sequences but unremarkable otherwise. The film doesn't bring a distinctive voice or fresh conception to the genre, feeling like a polished but formulaic entry. The ending resolves tensions adequately without a memorable payoff.
