Lost Bullet 2: Back for More (2022)

Director: Guillaume Pierret

Starring: Alban Lenoir, Stéfi Celma, Sébastien Lalanne

After the death of Charras, Lino and Julia took over and form the new narcotic unit. Determined to find the murderers of his brother and his mentor, Lino continues his hunt and won’t let anyone get in his way.

Wow, wow, and another wow! Although ‘Lost Bullet’ was an excellent film, ‘Lost Bullet 2’ manages to surpass the original on every level. From the intriguing story to the stunningly choreographed fight scenes, the fantastic action sequences and the superb acting, this is easily one of my favourite action movies! This was STUNNING!!

‘Lost Bullet 2’ follows directly on its predecessor, so watch ‘Lost Bullet’ before watching this sequel. I mean, it makes sense, right. With some sequels you can sometimes skip the first film but not with ‘Lost Bullet’. Ok, so the original cast returns to pick up where they left off. After the establishing scene, the film jumps ahead one year and Lino (Alban Lenoir) now works with Julia (Stefi Celma) in the narcotics division of the Police. Lino is now involved with Stella, Areski’s wife, after Areski simply vanished one year ago.

But Areski is determined to eliminate all witnesses and sends his henchman to do his dirty work. When Lino learns Marco – who killed his brother in the first film – has been under police protection for over a year and is likely not to be sentenced due to “lack of evidence”, Lino decides to take matters into his own hands.

This, off course, sets off a domino effect with twists and turns, and loads and loads of action. Man, the action sequences are insane! And guess what, Hollywood, no CGI was used. This is practical effects all the way! The photography makes the viewer feel part of the action.

Fueled by anger and vengeance, Lino is unstoppable (and Alban Lenoir is sensational!!). ‘Lost Bullet 2’ is an adrenaline rush from beginning to end and there literally never is a dull moment. I absolutely loved every second!

In French.

Would I watch it again? Yes! Yes! Yes!
