Lost Bullet (2020)
6/10
Slightly better than expected.

I was afraid of finding an ANTIGANG crap like movie; remember this flick shown five years ago and starring the same Alban Lenoir, with Jean Reno, also an action crime thriller, but light minded oriented. the trailer of BALLE PERDUE let us be scared about it. But no, except the opening scene - with the hilarious missed heist of the jewelry store - that could announce the worst, this film is not like ANTIGANG. It is an action thriller, crime flick, but not crime drama, because you have no real character study here, not really I mean, but rather a classic framed scheme, with the good guy vs the bad guys. Here, the bad guys are rogue cops. So, this is more a thriller than a dark, gritty crime film. Not boring at all, no folks, with a lead character not convincing at all, see the sequence when he can fight and win against ten cops in a police station !!! Who would believe that? But Alban Lenoir, this same character, plays very well this unconvincing character. A very weird situation. The police headquarters, in the warehouse, seems the very same we had in BRAQUO series, also starring Nicolas Duvauchelle, who is exquisite here, as usual. You can compare to the Fred Cavayé thrillers, French films in the American, Hollywood craps way, with a good guy vs bad guys, with always a happy ending. That makes me puke.
