Netflix is loading the chamber for one of its most intense originals yet, and at the center of the crosshairs stands Song Kang. The Last Bullet is a sleek, high-stakes action thriller that strips glamour from violence and replaces it with consequence, regret, and raw survival. This is Song Kang like you’ve never seen him before—quiet, lethal, and haunted.Set in a rain-soaked city where loyalty is currency and betrayal is inevitable, The Last Bullet follows a former elite marksman who disappeared after a mission went catastrophically wrong. Years later, he’s dragged back into the underworld he tried to bury when a single bullet resurfaces—one tied to a past he can’t outrun and a truth powerful people will kill to keep hidden.Song Kang delivers a career-defining performance, shedding the softness he’s known for and stepping fully into a role built on restraint and intensity. His character doesn’t speak much—he doesn’t have to. Every glance, every controlled breath, every pull of the trigger tells a story of a man who has learned that survival often means becoming the very thing you hate.What makes The Last Bullet hit harder isn’t just the action, but the emotional weight behind it. This is a story about consequences. About how one decision can echo through years. About the cost of pulling the trigger—and the heavier cost of refusing to. The action sequences are sharp and grounded, favoring tension over spectacle, realism over excess. Each shot matters. Each bullet counts.Visually, the film leans into a dark, neo-noir aesthetic—muted colors, shadow-heavy frames, and a city that feels like it’s constantly watching. The soundtrack pulses low and steady, mirroring the relentless pressure closing in on the protagonist as enemies multiply and allies grow scarce.Netflix positions The Last Bullet as more than just another action thriller. It’s a character study wrapped in gunpowder, a slow burn that explodes at exactly the right moments. It challenges the idea of heroes and villains, asking instead: what happens when there’s only survival left?With The Last Bullet, Song Kang proves he’s ready to lead darker, more complex narratives—and Netflix delivers a gripping thriller that stays with you long after the final shot is fired.One bullet. One truth. No way out.
