Lost Bullet 2 (Template:Lang-fr) is a 2022 French action film directed by Guillaume Pierret. It is a sequel to Lost Bullet, which came out in 2020 on Netflix.[1]
Plot
Six months since the death of Charas and the end of Lost Bullet, Lino works in the drug crime squad now led by Julia. But he is always on the search for the assassins of his brother Quentin and his mentor, Charas. he stakes out the home of Stella, the wife of the guilty party Areski, each night but Aretski never returns. His police colleagues urge him to give up his quest, stop living in his car, and move on. Julia gives him a set of Renault keys. He discovers they are for Charas' 1990s 2 litre turbo, which was wrecked in the last film and was stored at the police garage. Lino restores it, painting it blue and equipping it with a huge battery to electrify a front ram which is used to stop cars carrying drugs.
Jumping a year ahead, Lino is again leading police raids on drug importers in modified police vehicles. He is now in a relationship with Stella. He is anonymously alerted that Marco, Areski's henchman, is being held at a secret location, and arrives there on false pretences. Not realising he has been deceived by some of his own police colleagues, who had concealed that Marco was being held, he fights off police and decides to drive Marco to Spain in the Renault, where the police eagerly await his capture.
A very long car chase sequence involving good and bad police, drug runners, blown up vehicles and death results. Spanish police officer Alvaro had earlier revealed himself to be a friend of Charas, and is involved in trying and failing to get Marco into Spain, also saving Lilo's life. Marco is accidentally killed in Spain by Julia, ruining the case against numerous drug runners and corrupt police (the corrupt head of the Narcotics Department of Police, Alexander Resz, never appears) and Lilo tries to take the blame for her. Julia quits the force when her boss wants her to say in court that Lilo killed Marco. Areski reappears in a final sequence looking for the latest remains of the Renault, hinting at another sequel.
