“Last Bullet (Guillaume Pierret, 2025): A beautiful finale to the best vehicular series going. The French understand that it isn’t a good guy with a gun that will save us but an absolute lunatic in a Frankenstein car will. Mad Max through the countryside. Incredible.”
The second (and currently, last) reaction comes via Fred Topel of United Press International, who praisesLast Bulletfor stepping up “every aspect of the thrilling franchise.”

Hailing from France, theLost Bulletfranchise isone of Netflix’s hidden action gems. Bringing together action, crime, and car chases, the firstLost Bullet(Balle perdue) was released back in 2020, and follows Alban Lenoir as Lino, a gifted and passionate mechanic who, when caught red-handed by some dirty cops, is given a deal he can’t refuse. Thrilling, lean and boasting all manner of vehicular mayhem,Lost Bulletwas met with solid reviews upon release and landed scores of 67% from critics and 60% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
This led to a sequel,Lost Bullet 2: Back for More(Balle perdue 2), which picks up with Lino having cleared his name and now on the right side of the law and working for a new narcotics police unit. Despite this, he has just one thing on his mind: getting revenge on the corrupt cops who killed those closest to him in the first outing. The follow-up was met with even better reviews than its predecessor, achieving an impressive 83% from critics alongside 62% from audiences. Here’s hopingLast Bulletends the franchise with a bang.
