Let’s be direct. The dramatic cinema is the one that most falls in love with critics, something that can be reflected in the different awards galas, but it is other genres that accumulate the most spectators in general terms. Maybe, if we have to talk about a single genre, Action cinema is the most remarkable in this regardand it is only necessary to take a look, for example, to the highest grossing films of 2024 or streaming platforms such as Netflix to verify that a good percentage of these belonged to the aforementioned genre and that they had great success for it.
Action films are made throughout the world, although Hollywood seems the world cradle of this genre, With examples as clear as the UCM‘John Wick’ films or the saga of ‘Mission Impossible’, but we can also take a look at other industries to vary.
In this case we are going to focus on French cinema, which has its own particularities especially in action cinema, and that curiously has begun to have more relevance in recent yearsthanks precisely to these peculiarities that differentiate it quite from the films that are produced in the rest of the world.
Netflix: The cradle of action cinema
Let’s start directlyand is that the film we are going to talk about is the third installment of a saga of action movies. The first film called ‘La Bala Lost’ premiered in 2020, while the second, called ‘The Lost Bullet 2’ did it in 2022, both directly in Netflix. Now, in the year 2025, we have received its third installment, which As you will probably have guessed, it is called ‘The Lost Bullet 3’and as expected, it has not taken long to sneak into Netflix top 10, which turns out to be a great achievement.
-As you will know if you have seen the movies and previous ones, and despite being a French film, Its factory and its production values seem to have enough inspiration in the American action cinema. There is nothing more to look at the scenes of fights, or even those of persecution in cars, to realize where inspiration comes from, and I am totally clear that the word to use is inspiration because in this case they know what should be inspired and how to do it, offering action movies that are more than at the height of the greats of the genre.
Although we still cannot say that there are many opinions on the Internet, even though It has been quickly placed on Netflix Top 10the truth is that in general it seems that he has managed to convince most people who have given him a chance. The previous two films liked, but it seems in general that this third film has fallen even more in love, and for example we have the 81% approval it has in Themoviedb, as well as The few reviews we have read by the specialized press.
As many comment in their reviews, we are talking about a film that remains on the path of two predecessors, characterized by their elegant and well choreographed action scenes, but that At the same time he knows how to bring some of his own grill harvestthus offering a film that is at the height of the legacy of the saga and that is one of the great premieres of Netflix in what we have been for the year.
If you had never heard from the saga, and after knowing about it you feel like entering your world, You should keep in mind that you have the three films of the same totally available on Netflixincluding of course its recent third numbered installment.
