There was certainly a lot more happening with the action and suspense, but I found the story had too many inconsistencies and kept bouncing between pot holes and ridiculousness in the narrative. It's like the writers couldn't decide if Lino should be the antagonist or protagonist. Plus the entire narrative was really unfocused and didn't build much from the first film, and it seemed they were aiming for a more Fast and Furious ridiculousness feel; the action was a little too phony and overboard. Nevertheless, the action was choreographed well, all casting and performances spot-on, and the great pacing made the 98 min runtime fly by. Hopefully if there's a third installment, we'll get the continuation that will actually include Areski for more than a few minutes.

Only if you are very very bored

Let's be crystal. Lost Bullet was a pretty good film. It had a plot that included a beginning, a middle, and an end. It had explosive action scenes. Good acting. Checked all the boxes. This is a sequel to Lost Bullet released a few years after the fact. It is not a very satisfying watch. First, it seems to literally take place the day after the first film ended, requiring the viewer to remember all the details of the first film. In other words, it starts with a flash quiz, like you were back in high school. There is no obvious plot for the first half of the film, but there is an awful lot of action and emotion and fighting. If you wondered in without knowing the story, you might think you were watching a Kung Fu film, in French, produced in France. With no Asian characters. If all the above appeals to you, grab a chair. Otherwise take a pass. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

Is a car chase movie and that's that
medinamarisleidy6 December 2022
The last movie ended on him walking away from the garage with the girl , suddenly his in the hospital ok fine could be but then his a cop then he's beating more cops then the bad guys ? I don't get half of the plot is mess up incoherent, even the end is strange so did he die or he didn't and what's with the other guy picking up his stuff at the dump place or was it him didn't look like him it looks like the arieky.guy , like what a mess not even normal , it just to much of a mess , still a good action movie and the entire time you're trying to understand what the hell is happening and who is shooting who everyone is police no one seam like a good guy.
Please do not film third part!
opticuscro12 November 2022
Please don't film the third part, you will be doing favor to the movie world. The story is already overstretched, drawn out, too drawn out, monotonous anyway. I see they continued the tradition of absurd nonsense from the first part. The first part ends with our hero alive and well, walking off into the twilight with his arm wrapped, but the first scene of the second part begins without explanation while he is all broken in bed, which means that the action of this second part takes place literally after he was unglued from the hood of the car and taken to the hospital, later of course you realize that it is not that time frame. If, metaphorically speaking, the movie "Transporter" and the movie "Taxi" had a spoiled child, this would certainly be it. This is a below average time killer not particularly watchable.
A solid action sequel
Tweekums15 November 2022
I will assume that anybody intending to watch this film will have seen the original; if not it won't make too much sense as no time is wasted introducing characters or their situation. Protagonist Lino is still determined to capture the corrupt former policeman responsible for the death of his mentor. Unfortunately for him others are less keen. Senior officers want to offer him a deal to bring down corrupt senior officers still in the force and those corrupt officers want to kill him. If Lino is to get justice he will have to face more danger; mostly behind the wheel of his mentor's heavily modified Renault 21.
If you enjoyed the first film, as I did, this is definitely worth watching. The plot may be fairly threadbare but it serves to give lots of thrilling action... and that is what the film is all about. The action is mostly in cars with a chase through oncoming traffic, another through what appears to be a storm drain and several impressive collisions and other crashes. This is all very impressive with minimal obvious special effects. There are also a good number of fight scenes. Usually in such a film one never really feels the protagonist might be in real danger but here that is not the case; especially in a later fight scene. The action is solid, as is the direction. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of Euro-action, just remember to watch the first movie before watching this.

Lame and barely entertaining
JohnM6318 November 2022
More of the same and even less of a story than the first movie. A little more than an hour and a half of fighting, car chases and pretty much nothing. Too be fair, the action scenes, and particularly the car chase, are pretty well done and could measure up to Fast and Furious. The whole movie however lacks, any coherent storyline, some level of intelligence and at least 5 minutes of a somewhat decent dialogue and does not even come close to Fast and Furious. Well, maybe the later sequels, if you're not too critical.
Advised for those who are desperately seeking some time of for their brain. Just grab some chips and a beer or a soda and become brain dead for an hour and a half. It'll hopefully be worth your while. Lame and hardly entertaining anymore after thirty minutes or so.

Skeleton Story Supporting Several Strong Action Sequences
PartTimeCritic26 February 2023
THE LOST BULLET 2 (C+) is the follow-up to a underrated French action film about French cops using souped up cars to interrupt a drug smuggling ring using fast cars on the highway. This one re-writes the ending of the first film a bit and picks up on the corruption conflicts that drove the first film. When I say "picks up", I mean it uses the same conflicts from the first film as the entire plot for this one. It almost feels like this is just DLC for the first film, extra action scenes based on the skeleton of the first film. Nearly the entire second half of the film follows the lead character Lino trying to get a witness smuggled into Spain but running into trouble. The initial chase scene to get out of France and near the border is a really strong one, but it feels like the film only takes a couple of breathes before it gets back to the car action. The action isn't bad, it just peaks early on and becomes "pretty good" the rest of the way. It kinda gets old without more story as the main players all kind of just go back and forth on their motivations at the turn of a hat. Strong action here, horrible plot that feels thread bare and lacking.
Lost Bullet a spectacular action movie great new Netflix action franchise
playtoyer10 November 2022
Lost Bullet 2 is a spectacular gritty action movie. The primary plot of the movie is a direct follow up to the first movie the main character seeking vengeance in a fun way for the audience. The main character has to get to it and then get it to the right people plenty of amazing fight scenes and cool car chases all the way. Let the fun begin for the audience.
The good thing about this movie unlike hollywood movies it,s all raw realistic action and car chase scenes no special effects or big unrealistic action scenes.
The cool fight style is brutal and raw with hand to hand combat fight scenes. Several scenes of the movie are definitely over the top but that makes it a really fun movie. This a great new Netflix action franchise.

Not so clear what was really going on
Luigi Di Pilla24 July 2023
Alright, first of all the story is very simply but nonetheless has some great cheese wholes.
There are perhaps too many cop organizations involved in this case but my wife and me didn't understand for what reason exactly.
But if you can look away and don't take all too seriously it may entertain thank to the high action level. There were great car chases with never seen crashes before. I enjoyed it really.
The running time is fortunately not too long.
It was kind of monotone the substance of this thriller. I expected some more suspense. I mean it doesn't develop enough tension to immagine what is coming next. So you see all coming miles away.
Sorry, I think it gets just for the good car executions 4/10.

FOLLOW-UP DISAPPOINTS...!
masonfisk4 June 2023
The current sequel from last year to the 2020 French original streaming on Netflix. Picking up almost where the predecessor left off, our anti-hero, Alban Lenoir, is keeping an eye on a possible victim in retaliation from the villain he felled from the first film. When they do come, he vanquishes the men & after a year's time we see he's joined the 'go fast' crew as a cop (along w/his predilection to mount destructive rams on the front of his car) but when he stumbles upon the henchmen, Sebastien Lalanne, he thought was dead (who's now in witness protection because of the information he has to topple other criminals) Lenoir will have none of it as he's determined to bring him to justice (he's also wanted for crimes in neighboring Spain) w/the last forty minutes or so an extended game of hot potato as Lalanne is transpo'd to Spain but w/a passel of cops hoping to get him back into custody on his heels as well as some corrupt ones who will kill Lalanne where he stands. Feeling like they had maybe an hour's worth of screenplay, the filmmaker decided to make this an extended chase flick which if you think about it doesn't make a lick of sense but as far as the vehicular mayhem on display it does satisfy but no amount of seeing cars being blasted high into the air can compensate w/a well tuned screenplay that makes a modicum of logic, no matter the language it's in.
INSANE CAR CHASES !!! If only for the car chases this cop flick is GOLD! But there is MORE...
imseeg14 November 2022
Holy moly, what INSANE CAR CHASES, especially the one towards the end of the movie is truly SPECTACULAR.
The action photography and the REAL LIFE STUNTS are to die for! With TERRIFIC DRONE camera footage trailing the cars during the car chases, delivering some eyewatering, mindblowing action car chase scenes.
MORE GOOD: this movie is not simply another formula action cop flick, it has got a lot more goodies, like excellent acting performances by great actors, who get to star in a story that is credible and COOL and THRILLING.
The story is quite simple, hardcore bad cop versus good cop. And although this is the sequel and I didnt even see the original, I am still blown away by it!
In essence the story is about a honest good French cop, who is being targetted by a bunch of bad French cops, who want to kill an eyewitness who knows too much.
Shootouts, streetfights (bare knockle) and LOTS of terrific car chases. All a grown boy needs!
Highly recommended for the fans of action packed dirty cop flicks.
The best the French have to offer.
MERCI BEAUCOUP!

What just happened here ?
jondibbs-8722320 February 2024
In this intriguing sequel, we witness a dramatic shift in the life of our protagonist Lino, who transitions from being a mechanic in the first film to now a cop. The movie cleverly plays with the audience's expectations by presenting a disconnect between the ending of the first movie and the beginning of the second, adding an element of mystery and suspense. Lino's evolution from a blue-collar worker to a law enforcement officer brings a fresh perspective to the character, as he navigates a world where the lines between good and bad are constantly blurred. The film wastes no time plunging into the action, with Lino finding himself in a complex web of corruption and deceit, where the true villains may not be who they seem. What sets this movie apart is Lino's unconventional approach to justice, as he finds himself in situations where he must confront and even take down corrupt cops to uphold his own sense of morality. With a high-stakes plot, intense action sequences, and a standout performance by the lead actor, this movie delivers a thrilling and thought-provoking experience that challenges traditional notions of heroism and villainy. Brace yourself for a wild ride filled with twists, turns, and a riveting exploration of justice and crazy 40 minute finish that made little sense.
It has been found - hasn't it?
kosmasp12 November 2022
No pun intended - and I assume you have seen the first movie! This is quite important, not just because I will talk about events from the first movie, but because this glues itself to the first "Lost Bullet" movie. I have to admit, I did not see the sequel coming and I reckon even though you could say this ends in a way that would not need another movie ... it also ends in a way that does suggest another movie. You will understand once you've seen it.
Of course if you've seen the first one and thought: not my cup of tea, I would assume you would know better than to watch the sequel and than rant about it. Just saying - while this is different from the first movie, it also has the same ingredients and in a way a similar formula.
The breakout scene in the first one (no pun intended here either), that took place in a police station, with amazing choreography, may not be entirely matched in this one - but it does have great action scenes too. Actually the very first one 10 or 15 minutes in, shows us where our "hero" is at the moment ... the fallout and the losses of the previous movie still hanging over his head.
Will he be able to have some sort of normal life? Well it would not be a movie if that would be entirely the case now would it? And to give us another action packed movie that means this has some phenomenal stunts (combat wise, shooting wise and car chase scene wise) ... some of the car chase scene footage could have done with some more speed, but those are minor things to note ... if even.
I love the mixture, I like our stoic hero and his engraved morals - even if they do get him into trouble from time to time. This does warrant another view and I would not mind to be back here in 2 years (or sooner) to write about the third part ... an action star is born? You decide - all I know is: you would like him if he gets angry! McGuyver car modifications included!

A REAL action movie with REAL elements
millerian-027978 March 2024
Couldn't ask for more from a sequel to a great action movie. This trims out all the fat from the original and just focuses on a revenge story that works incredibly well. Not exactly great when it comes to the story department, but that's not the point, the performances are believable and entrancing, and where the fun lies in the fantastic action sequences. You have the usual fistfights that are incredibly well done, but with the original having that amazing long fistfight sequence in the police station, this goes in the complete opposite direction and goes over the top with the car chase sequences. You have the main character putting electric spikes on his car and putting those spikes under the bumper of other cars, and sending them exploding into the air, all done with mostly practical effects. The pacing is excellent and it is non-stop and captivating, these movies aren't gonna set the world on fire (pun intended) but they are necessary for today's cinematic landscape, practically done action movies with simple plots that are around 90 minutes, what more could you ask for?
