Bullet Train

The first 60 minutes of Bullet Train play like all the hit man comedy hits. We’ve got over-the-top personalities, hammy one-liners and some fun action. Good chemistry between some of the cast, particularly ATJ & BTH. I was having a good time, damnit!Then came the second, followed by an unholy third act. The last 60 minutes of Bullet Train feel as if David Leitch called in every favor he’s built up over his career and forced the actors on set at gun point.Absolutely insane, but it’s worth seeing for the slapstick action and quality banter in the first half.

Such a fun movie! The plot was good and the characters were great, even if it’s an adaptation of a book and not necessarily a new idea it’s refreshing to just watch a movie where the story wraps itself up at the end. No setups for sequels or cinematic universes.

Rating: 6.7/10 ⭐️The Good: • Inventive Action: Creative and dynamic action sequences that utilize the train setting. • Charismatic Ensemble: Memorable performances from Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Brian Tyree Henry. • Stylish Visuals: Vibrant and slick visuals with neon lighting and energetic camera work.The Not So Good: • Convoluted Plot: Overly complex narrative with coincidental connections. • Underdeveloped Characters: Some characters lack depth. • Controversial Casting: Sparked notable controversy.The Verdict: Bullet Train is a stylish, action-packed thrill ride with inventive action and charismatic performances. While it excels in delivering high-energy action and dark comedy, its convoluted plot and controversy surrounding casting choices are notable drawbacks. Recommended for fans of action comedies who can navigate its flaws.
