Not quite a "10" , but pretty darn close if you're looking for a fun actioner, where even some of the "bad" guys are kind of likeable, and the lead (Pitt's "Ladybug") is pretty much perfectly cast. Based on Kotaro Isaka's best selling novel, the film version does take some liberties with the characters as far as their ethnicities are concerned, as well as (IMO) the only glaring miscasting of the big bad which lacked believability, and caused me to briefly discard my suspension of disbelief, but overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, which I can wholeheartedly recommend. Hiroyuki Sanada is ALWAYS a welcome addition to pretty much any film he's ever been in, as is, of course, Miss Congeniality herself, Sandra Bullock, although she is used sparingly as "Ladybug's" handler.
The rest of the supporting cast, especially ("Kick-Ass" Himself) Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry are comically villainous counterpoints to Pitts charmingly successful but at times unlucky character, and, I liked the way the story intercut their backstories to tie their present situations all together. Again, if you're looking for Shakespeare, best catch another train, but if non stop comic mayhem is what you seek, grab a ticket, and take a ride on the this express train to chaos-town.
@Lazo - .....or, action-wise at least, a more gender mixed version of "Gunpowder Milkshake". ;-)
Hmmmm....,Will THIS be 2024's "Bullet Train?:
https://www.universalpictures.com/movies/argylle
Yeah I mean, it is very much that movie. If you want my unfiltered opinion: it's glossy & loud, it's discount Tarantino/Ritchie, it's engineered to be forgotten about almost instantly, it's very Youtube reviewer friendly, it’s edited for people with no attention span, it’s postmodern and cringy; it's all of that. It's aiming to be a 6, and I was kinda expecting it to hit that target given how much I was into David Leitch' previous directorial effort. Unfortunately, this is hampered by the fact that it very much feels like a product of the pandemic. I'm pretty sure everything was shot on sound stages, and you can really tell, because the effects are dogshit. The same goes for the action, most of it feels like it was choreographed based on what was possible for the day. It's a shame, because good visuals and punchy action are two of the key ingredients if you want to make this kind of movie work. Now, its biggest saving grace are the characters and some of the comedy. I think most of the characters are quite well done and colorful (props to the writing and actors), especially the duo played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree-Henry (again, even if they feel like they walked straight out of a Guy Ritchie movie). It did make me laugh occasionally, but there's also a lot of cringe in it, especially with its obnoxious use of bathos and cameos by people I didn't need to see. I'm also getting pretty sick of the Marvelization of movie dialogue, I could’ve sworn some of Pitt’s lines in this were written with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in mind. The story itself is a mess pretty much right from the start and completely flies off the rails in the third act (no pun intended). I'm not sure if that's due to the writing or editing though. In true Tarantino fashion it's told out of order, but here it doesn't enhance the experience in a positive way. I don't know, I'd wait for this to appear on streaming, it's only occasionally fun and not really worth of the big screen.
4/10
Found it boring and had a hard time getting invested in the story. It is sometimes funny especially when Brad Pitt is on screen but it gets so cheesy and goofy that it's hard to take it seriously. The characters were great Lemon and Tangerine were my favorites the girl in pink was so unbearably annoying but I guess that was the point of her character. The action sequences weren't the best especially the sword fighting. The surprise cameos were fun but pointless really and they could of cut out some of them. Also I swear this movie felt like 4h I tought it would end at least 3 times. The final villain was so underwhelming he should of kept his mask on or something.
I found it boring. A cheap copy of a Guy Ritchie or Tarantino movie. Didn’t have the same finesse to it.
A fun watch at the cinemas. Audience was laughing throughout. I think a good crowd can certainly impact one's own enjoyment. A fun actioner w some good comedic chops. Some over the top silliness of course , but that's part of the charm I suppose. 7.9. Highly recommended for folks that know what they're getting into. Surprised critics are under 60% on rt. Too silly I suppose for some.
It is the action fun package with fast scenes. This is what you expect to see. Watch, smile and move on. 7.5/10
Yeah, it is pretty bad.
To be honest I found myself bored in this movie multiple times. There are so many characters that come and go and you don't realise until later when you're trying to work out where they went and why did they create such a story around them. The movie is of course filled with profanity and gore as the rating suggests, but I must say that at the end of it all, the way they tie in all the little stories was amazingly done and there were still plenty of surprises to be had. I also feel that they wrapped the story up quite well (make sure to stay through the animated credits for some finishing remarks). Overall, better than average but not much better than a 6.
This is a strange movie... one minute it's fantastic, then stupid, then fantastic. Funny, not funny, then hilarious, then not funny. It's all over the place. It's like a whole bunch of skits are melded into a movie, but there is a storyline running right through it.
While watching it I was thinking this is such a Guy Ritchie or Tarantino movie... but it isn't.
Tons of blood splatter and dead people... and F-bombs
I want to give it 8.5/10, but I can't because there's just too much/many bad bits.
6.5/10 it is
Kill Bill 20 years after, but this one is pretty forgettable and won’t lead to Kill Bill 2 (I hope at least).
Idiot plot and almost non-existent, disgusting cinematography with abused CGI almost everywhere (it was very clear it was filmed in studio throughout), flat acting. Very little can be savaged here.
Gave the movie 8 of 10. It‘s a good action and comedy, 2h non-stop get a punch in a face movie with too much green screen scenes. Overall ok, but not really worth to see it a second time.
Such a blast!
Personally, I wasn't expecting much from 'Bullet Train' at all. The (most overplayed) trailer didn't fill with me with much interest and I thought the bullet train aspect would be gimmicky and perhaps even too limiting. However, to my surprise it's the exact opposite to all that. It's supremely entertaining and very amusing!
I love the whole style of the film, the editing is top notch. the bloody visuals are class and the music is superbly chosen - every track hits. Then you also have an excellent cast. I thought, again based on the trailer(s) that I saw, it would be a run-of-the-mill Brad Pitt feature, but his performance is terrific throughout.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry are a quality double act, I thought their accents and dynamic would get tiresome but if anything I enjoyed them the more I saw them - funny guys! Joey King was the only character I wasn't sold on during the film, though by the end I dug her performance too.
Andrew Koji and Hiroyuki Sanada are also very good, while Michael Shannon, Benito A. Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny) and Zazie Beetz are welcomed cast members as well. There are also a few other noteworthy people involved, including two that Pitt knows well from a different 2022 flick. Seriously, what a cast!
If I had to mention one gripe, it would be the run time/pacing - this is me nit-picking, though at like one or two (no more than that) moments I did feel like it wasn't paced incredibly. Again, no biggie though. All in all, I most definitely had a great time with this and would certainly recommend it.*
*still, if you want an even greater film set entirely on a train then you gotta check out the outstanding 'Source Code' - one of my favourites!
aaron taylor johnson and brian tyree henry were the absolute best part of this movie. that and all the cameos i had no idea about because i went into the movie blind.
Not bad,not great. I found the banter between the brothers very amusing, in my opinion they made the whole movie.
Just watching the trailer made me realize this is an easy pass. Not a good movie at all. I guess anyone rating it high, it isn't old enough to have properly watched Tarantino's movies in real theaters, otherwise I don't understand the rating they give to this "canned garbage".
“You’re a Diesel!”
‘Bullet Train’ is a fast-moving, messy, and stupid movie that does not fail to entertain. I found it funny how every character has a little backstory, even a water bottle. The film has colourful visuals, style, thoughtful action set pieces, and absurdly violent humour.
However, one of the things that stood out about this movie-going experience was that I got to see it on Screen X, an expanded, dual-sided, 270-degree screen projected on the walls. And I got to say Screen X is not for me. On the sides of the walls, it was moving at ten frames per second, while the middle screen was moving just fine, which was very distracting. It does not help that it projects to the walls next to a fire exit, which was visible throughout. So yeah, I don’t recommend it.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (as Tangerine) and Brian Tyree Henry (as Lemon) were the best part of the film. They are two hitmen who are good at killing but terrible at protecting people. Their interaction was the most entertaining, especially how they rope in the kid program of Thomas the Tank Engine when it comes to reading people. Also, Brian Tyree Henry and Joey King are two American actors who manage to do solid British accents.
The movie is not great or anything, as there are problems, but other than that, I enjoyed it for what it is. It served its promise, and it served it well.
This is genuinely one of the best looking, most stylistic movies I have seen. I love how every character is introduced with a unique backstory and name. The color pallette is also expecional as is the chemistry between the actors, especially Lemon and Tangerine. I also really enjoyed all the cameos. The reason this movie didn't score higher for me was that the plot was not very intriguing. To some people this won't matter as the movie does so many other things well to overcome this, but for me it was hard to keep my attention for the full 2 hours without an interesting plot to invest in.
One of the funniest and entertaining movies I watched in my life. And I watch loads of movies!
With so many visual references, from Ritchie to Tarantino, you have to take as much risk as Kwan/Scheinert in their crazy "Everything everywhere..." to offer something that doesn't sound like you've already seen it or simply copied it. There is good comic timing between some of the actors, but the film ends up being a festival of empty action scenes where there is little (or almost nothing) to find any brilliant ideas, even if it is given the benefit of the doubt for being the adaptation of a novel with manga aesthetics.
Asien bullet bullsh*t mixture of Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and other elements of Tarantino manner! unfortunately far too exaggerated scenes that are more fun for pubescent teenagers ^_^ Tangerine climbs onto the moving high-speed train and even smashes the windshield with his fist! WOW!! what a hero of Lego-Land... and stupid to prepare a money case with dynamite without catch the money °!°
a killer seems to have the 007 License for quickly start-up the high-speed train, which speed accidently under another high-speed train and at least the snake survived... jipphie welcome to the Kindergarden of Playmobil.
Brad Pitt is the best like every time because he has always real charisma and the right face impressions of humor... Sandra Bullock appears quite few minutes at the end and is completely over-styled with unattractive makeup!!
I would have regretted very much to spend money on it in the cinema!
good show
在现在的电影中特效少故事的情况下,能看到一个不错的故事还是不错的,虽然说很多地方经不起推敲,没有意义,但是还是值得一看。We have not seen many stories in the past two years. The soundtrack of this film is quite good. This soundtrack can help the story to advance. Let's take a look at the excellent performance of the veteran actors, which adds a lot of points to this film which is not outstanding.
Like confetti cake, it looks like fun but doesn't have enough substance.
Bullet Train feels like it tries too hard to be quirky and comes across as more convoluted than streamlined.
Whatever quirkiness left that doesn't feel forced is stained by the WTF dripping off it like blood from an open sore.
That said, the frantic pace combined with some nice lead actors (Aaron Taylor-Johnson nailed his part) and fun cameos keep this train afloat.
The fact that this movie, multiple times, so obviously uses the exact opposite term to describe the effects of the Boomslang's venom, despite it being a major line of the story, says all you need to know.
Very enjoyable action pic that surpassed my expectations. Reminded me of some of the train journeys I have taken in the past, such as the moment when I hung off the back of a speeding train, like Pitt does here. Good times.
Action was fast as bullet, on the right tracks with the cast and the plot was the right destination, loved it from getting on the train to getting off the train, a fun film with also some great effects along with a cool sense of humour.
It was enjoyable but I wish they trimmed out some of the bad banter and focused more on better action and not bullshit, nonsense cg. For some reason really reminds of Bad Times At El Royale, while I get what they were going for they didn’t quite make it
Bullet Train is a fast paced action packed adventure filled with great laughs and brutal fight sequences. This film is incredibly self aware, and I say that as compliment. It has fun with itself, and manages some serious story points with humor in a pleasant way. The cast is stacked and delivers excellent performances with some fun surprise cameos along the way. With the story being so full, I felt that it was trying to do too much and be a bit too cleaver. There were times where I had to backpedal in my head to keep track of all the characters and how they connect. I did find that the movie dragged on a bit towards the end, I'm not sure if this story warranted the two hour runtime. There were some lines that were mixed poorly where is difficult for me to hear what the actors were saying. Although, that could have been due to the bass of the theatre speakers. Overall, Bullet Train is a fun time and worth a watch in theaters.
Score: 75%
Verdict: Good
Premise - 17/20 - I was definitely opting in early based on the premise and the trailer. I could always use a good original action movie with a good cast.
Cast/characters - 19/20 - I knew most of these actors, so that was a good start. It was great to see Joey King hold her own against the big boys. I love her! Quite the diverse set of characters, and they all had a back story. You know it's a great ensemble when no one person takes over the movie.
Story - 17/20 - Don't look away, that's all I'm saying. So many character stories all coming together a bit at a time.
Dialogue - 18/20 - The sarcasm ran rampant, and the intelligent discussions were enjoyable. You can really learn about the paradigm of Thomas the Tank Engine.
World-building - 15/20 - You don't have to understand or learn anything to get this movie, but the incredibly complex storyline forces the viewer to get engrossed in the characters' lives really quickly.
86/100 - 4.5/5 stars - It starts quickly and it goes fast. As Ferris would say, "If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it." I loved it and I know I'll be watching it again.
Surprised to see actual fun plot and action in this movie
John wick but with more jokes
I just realized this is the type of action movie I want more of. Though it's still as testosterone-heavy as ever, it doesn't take itself too seriously and constantly points out the humor in its more ridiculous aspects. And it's fun, really fun.
a lotta fun.
minor gripe: snakes are venomous (affecting the blood), not poisonous (digested).
I am aware that I am more positive about "Bullet Train" than most critics. But I had so much fun watching it again that I can overlook a few inconsistencies and a slightly weaker final act. The script is clever, and the characters are delightfully quirky, as well as perfectly cast. Furthermore, the humor is consistent throughout. The biggest draw, however, is the action. It's perfectly staged, easy to follow, and the emphasis on stunt work is refreshing in comparison to many other genre representatives. What more could you ask for in an action film?
This was a fund movie indeed, and quite woke-free at that. The fact that the woke crap site Rotten Tomatoes has marked it as rotten (despite it having more than 50% positive critics reviews) was a good sign of course.
It is an action/comedy about an unbelievably unlucky (and a bit stupid) assassin played by Brad Pitt. The movie mixes action, comedy, a bit of suspense and a fair amount of gore in a quite enjoyable package.
The movie balances the comedy bits right on the line where it would turn silly and cringe-worthy but there was really only one place where I went “Oh no, what the f…?”.
The action bits are overall quite good but this is Hollywood with their armada of clueless script writers so sometimes they get a bit ridiculous. Like being able to hang on to the outside of a bullet train while it speeds away.
Although fairly unbelievable and over the top, the core story actually makes some sense but then, it was not written by some Hollywood hack but instead based on a novel.
Overall it was a fun movie with a lot of laughs. The end twist with the tangerine truck was absolutely hilarious.
I really liked it. If you like that British comedy that’s comparable to Shaun Of The Dead, than you’ll love this. It’s just a action movie instead, but the humor is so on point.
Really good! It doesn't get boring for even one second, couldn't look away. Loved all the goofy characters and jokes. Strong Tarantino vibes. It's more 7.5/10 but I'd rather rate it up than down.
bruh what? WHAT?
Also, what was the point of having Karen Fukuhara in the movie? Waste of talent.
They made Sandra Bullock look like a CGI character with all that makeup.
The white death does not sound Russian in any way, Joey King spoke Russian better.
Ryan Reynolds is being used as a meme across different movies now.
Excessively good movie.
A bit of Kill Bill with a bit of Pulp Fiction and a lot of Tarantino!!!
Very promising director, I want more!
Hey, really good movie. I‘ve seen it twice at the cinema. Action with a lot to laugh. And a interesting setting in the Japanese train.
Not as good as I hoped it would be. Not as bad as I expected it to be.
My Ratings
10 - I love it, regardless of quality
9 - Very good, might not love but very well done or might love, forgiving some issues
8 - Very enjoyable or Just OK for me but well done
7 - Good
6 - Watchable despite not liking the film/show
5 - Mid
3-4 - Not great, but got through it
1-2 - Very bad/You might be a communist if you like this garbage
AMAZING movie! Brad and Joey are just brilliant. This is a MUST-WATCH!
What a crazy movie. Did not expect much and obviously it was justover the top. Still enjoyable and some things were so ridiculous they got funny. Also, many things were a bit predictable. Still good.
This was a very refreshing movie. It has been a while since I have enjoyed a movie this much. The characters kept coming one after another, each more interesting than the previous. The story was also carefully put. Cinematography was top-notch. The movie kept giving till the last scene.
fantastic movie. Brad Pitt plays a great role
Based on the original story by Kotaro Isaka, Bullet Train is undoubtedly reminiscent of the formidable Guy Ritchie films in its direction and character presentation. This is a step forward - or backward, whoever feels it misses his personal mark - in David Leitch's career as a director, who already has a wealth of experience in action films (Deadpool 2, John Wick).
The editing is impeccable, and the personality and characterisation of each of the characters is excellent, except in two cases: perhaps we miss the actor who plays the White Plague being more physically impressive, but we can assume that it was intended not to overshadow the final scenes. Scenes that, by the way, are so exaggerated that you can only stand there with your mouth open. The other case is the role of The Prince (we don't want to go into details), given that someone 23 years old doesn't pass for an infant no matter how much make-up and costumes you put on.
All in all, it's a good film that allows Brad Pitt to play a character that doesn't demand too much and that surely allowed him a lot of interpretative licenses. Watch out for the cameos!
What a great movie! Starts out slowish, and is super confusing, wife left halfway through to her detriment! That's when things start coming together. Watch the whole movie! All of it!
Great new gen version of a comedy action movie!
very fun movie, loved the whole Brad Pitt "therapy" advice that he comes up with here and there, funny little touch, and an amazing cast
The worst thing about this movie is the CGI. Great plot, cool action scenes, an over the top crazy characters.
That was ridiculous.... But brilliant!
Intentionally ridiculously stupid but has some great moments
It amuses me that the three reviews prior to this were a 4, 6 and 10 because I think that sums it up perfectly. There are going to be some that dislike it, some that find it meh but those that like it, will probably love it.
I'm in the latter group, by the way.
What if early career Guy Ritchie was asked to make a happy-go-lucky ensemble version of John Wick? Bullet Train. And that's no knock on the film. It was tremendously fun with a near-perfect cast, great banter, and plenty of action. Heck, even the big name cameos are riot instead of a distraction. I had low-ish expectations going in and was just blown away by how much I enjoyed this, even with some of the dodgy CGI at the end.
Had its moments, but it's just another one of those generic crime flicks that tries way too hard to be edgy and cool. Story isn't original and really obnoxious editing with constant flashbacks that tell you stuff you already knew.

While the plot may not be overly complex, "Bullet Train" doesn't pretend to be anything other than a fun, action-packed ride. The focus is squarely on the adrenaline-fueled action sequences, and in that regard, the film delivers in spades.

In the genre "Tarantino style copycats" this is the best I've seen in a while. Better than Tarantino's last 2.
Not half as slick, stylish, or creative as it thinks it is, it’s fun enough to fill out the runtime. That could apply to Brad Pitt too, who is obnoxious here though his real life allegations don’t help. Aaron Tyler-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry are standouts. Hiroyuki Sanada one day I’ll see you in a great thing. The action does it’s job without ever kicking it into the high gear you’re hoping for, some of the writing is cloying, and there’s some jarring CGI. But it’s okay.
The movie tries too hard to be funny.
"Bullet Train" is a Japanese film directed by Ryuichi Hiroki and based on the novel of the same name written by Kōtarō Isaka. The film tells the story of two passengers who travel on a bullet train and begin to talk about their lives and their problems. As the conversation continues, they begin to connect emotionally and realize they have more in common than they thought.
The film is a reflection on life, love, and human relationships, showing how people can have an impact on each other's lives through small actions and words. The dialogues are deep and well-written, and the actors do an excellent job in conveying the emotions of the characters. Additionally, the direction and photography are excellent, creating a relaxed and reflective atmosphere that perfectly suits the tone of the film.
Overall, Bullet Train is a highly recommended film for those who are looking for a reflective and emotional story. It's a mature and thought-provoking film that invites the viewer to reflect on their own lives and relationships. The rating of 9 out of 10 is well-justified, this film is a gem of Japanese cinema.
Mr. Ladybug is the most unlucky lucky man ever exist. I expect Ryan Reynold to show up at the end but turn out it's just a cameo.
Starts off really well but falls apart HARD in the 3rd act. Goes for style, over substance.
Joey King and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are the real standouts., and Pitt's character is a little too dumb.
Bratt Chan in Psycho Train.
This film is a mixture of 7 Psychos and the Hong Kong action cinema of Jackie Chan.
On the one hand, the film is an ensemble piece where the Bullet Train sets the stage and all the characters are gradually introduced and meet each other.
The action is staged in the style of Hong Kong cinema a la Jackie Chen and everything that Bratt Pitt gets his hands on becomes a weapon. As with their role models, the scenes are fast and the blows have impact, but there is always a good portion of slapstick.
I don't want to reveal anything about the story, which is of secondary importance. The film should definitely be seen by anyone who is interested in one (ensemble cinema) or the other (Hong Kong action).
Best movie 2022. Best actor: Ryan Reynolds
If you love Coen movies, this one is a must!
I have to write it and absolutely sincerely it's the most ridiculously stupid movie I've ever seen and it can't be saved because it has renowned actors it's a real one :poop: I've been wide of the icon
After a long long time, i've found a movie which is worth watching multiple times.
Whole movie is a roller coaster ride from start to finish.
Every character is awesome; even their names.
Story keeps you guessing at guessing and ending is awesome.
Action, Comedy and acting. Everything is brilliant.
'Bullet Train' was a chaotic speedy madness all over the place.....suggested this movie to watch to my cousins in a night out...they didn't like it and was mad at me...and I was hilariously amused seeing them like that...it was fun...
Anime Guy Ritchie with a streak of Good Value brand Tarantino, Bullet Train is an assault on the senses; a contemporary action-comedy-thriller-western-samurai movie for the Marvel and TikTok age of cinema. Did I have a good time? Absolutely, this is the movie version of a rollercoaster punctuated with more cameos than is comfortable and a sense of wit ripped right from Taika Waititi's Thor notebook. But is it good? Well, I guess that's up to the viewer and their tolerance for the sporadic, scatter brained, 7-second-attention-span production utilised here. Check your brain at the sliding doors and let this train whisk you away to Kyoto, you'll certainly have a good time getting there, but whether you'll have something memorable to take with you from the journey is another question entirely. Good popcorn fun.
Edit: Just finished another viewing and I think I prefered it the second time round. Lots of the foreshadowing is clearer and the details of the story click into place much earlier on, making the central plot feel much tighter than it did initially. There is definitely still a pacing issue with the intro firing on all cylinders just to grind to a halt around the hour mark. If the initial blowout of exposition was held to a little later in the runtime, the brakes wouldn't feel so harsh when the speed of everything slows so rapidly during the second and third act. But then again, that fits with the titular Bullet Train theme and it's eventual fate, so maybe it's intentional. I'll bump to an 8/10 because I got much more enjoyment from it on a second viewing. Great film, but another pass in the editing booth could have potentially made this a 9 or a 10.
If it was less star crowded, would be a better movie. It's distracting.
When I saw this trailer originally, I was not impressed. It did not really seem like my cup of tea, but I was certainly wrong. It’s a chaotic good time that is packed with cameos. It reminds me of a similar vibe as Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I don’t think this will too many movie of the year lists, but it will be enjoyed by many
Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend
This is a Netflix-type action movie with a better cast. The plot is the kind you have to look up on its Wikipedia page to know wtf is going on.
Goofy, funny and cool. This movie just worked for me. Likeable cast, cool action and most of the jokes landed.
Lots of action and comedy...the plot is a little so-so, but it's one of those movies you don't watch for the plot, but rather to watch mostly to distract yourself for a couple of hours between adrenaline and laughter, and this one succeeds in doing that great.
Taken for what it is, a light movie, I really enjoyed it!
I loved this movie, it was so fun!
really enjoyed this film from start to finish
It reminds me of Pulp Fiction
it was a fun watch.
Why didn’t he just push the golf club forward :joy: idiot.
I don’t like that lemon died
Damn it!!! He almost killed that lying bitch
Jesus Christ that girl played EVERYONE!!! shows you what women can do and how they can control men lol
lemon’s not dead!!!! yes
So the sword could cut through a train seat but it cant cut through his cane?
Yess the ending was “chief’s kiss” with the Tangerine thing. :clap_tone3:
Some good action and fighting scenes, nothing much after that.
Rating: 6/10
Fummy and not really a thriller
I really recommend This movie for anyone who want to have 2 hour's of action comedy, really this was so funny and like u don't have to think about plot or feel stressed or anything
the way of camera moves and soundtracks ( thoseee so good song's), besides the chosen lights make it really awesome
liked
andddd may watch it again later
Shockingly amazing movie!
:star_struck: The Casting
:boom: The Action
:rofl: The Comedy
:exploding_head: The Plot Twist
:astonished: The Cameos
From beginning to end this movie had EVERYTHING! I highly recommend this movie for anyone looking for a refreshing storyline filled with action and comedy!
It’s a decent movie. The water brand placement alone makes me want to rate this 1/10 because it felt like watching a 2 hour long advertisement.
Genuinely loved this movie and blew past my expectations, loved every character in the film, totally colorful production with the right kind of thriller. Loved the way the story line went and connecting the dots, getting introduced to the bad guys, a story within a story and figuring out how it all came together with Brad Pitt in the middle of this entertaining rollercoaster.
I bought all of Kotaro Osaka's novels after watching this movie including Bullet Train
I liked the movie so much I watched it twice, and just as fun the second time around.
If the writing and the script are as clever as the characters perceived to be, then it would have been a masterpiece.
Such a great movie from begging to end.
Everything was amazing.
The action
The comedy
The cameos
The plot twist
The Casting
My only gripe is the physics. (yes I'm a nerd) The train goes 130mph so some of these scenes triggered my ocd. Other than that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE
I went into this with very low expectations, but by the end I was glad I watched it and will watch it again one day.
It's one of the most bizarre action flicks you will watch with a cast of characters that you can't help but like and a ridiculous plot that makes it just a fun movie.
It's not great acting, it's decent but not great action but it has enough going on to be a worthwhile way to blow off a couple hours to watch it and not feel like you wasted your time.
This was stop and go for a while there. I wasn't sure if I was gonna end up liking it. I'm particularly sensitive when characters I like die for seemingly no reason.
At the end of the film though I struggle to find anything I didn't like. I wasn't a fan of Joey King but whatever her character was fine, the writing for her was fine, and her acting was good enough. I just, didn't like her.
Brad Pitt fit the role like a glove. He just inhabited Ladybug. Everyone else was excellent the production design was colorful and well lit and cinematography did some interesting things. It kept me interested all the way to the end which not every movie can do. Love it had a good time. Kinda wanted more Zazie Beets because her character was hilarious.
This was the wildest ride. It completely blew all my expectations. Watch if you want a fun, great action movie.
this surely was a surprise. i expected nothing and got almost everything. i was afraid i will see another 0815 big budget action movie like almost everyone we got the last years. but this movie was clever, fun, suspenseful, really enjoyable and hat a fantastic soundtrack. i will definitely rewatch this. several times.
It was great, enjoyed every second.
A bad Guy Ritchie wannabe.
Sandra Bullock's face looks like a train wreck
This here is one of those rare gems. Brilliant performance from the entire cast, excellently written storyline, and packs a lot of action and laughs. A truly satisfying experience.
This movie is awesome..must see
In the words of Thomas the Tank Engine,"The simpler the better!" The adventures of an iron suitcase and a bottle of water, or How to learn to live in peace with yourself. A cool nod to the best works of Quentin and Guy in the form of a slasher on the train, where the sinister yakuza lured their offenders.More Tarantino-logs would be here, but Lemon and Mandarin were close ...
This was such a good movie. One of the few I've actually enjoyed this year. Will definitely watch again!
:heart:x8
That was a darn good movie. Lots of fun.
The whole time I'm thinking there's something about this movie that feels really familiar. Then, thanks to a special guest appearance by Ryan Reynolds it clicked and I understood why.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
It's not the kind of movie that's gonna win any award (probably), but if you want something to switch your brain off and just sit in for some action and laughs at the end of the day/week, it's absolutely perfect. Big budget, high production value, and of course totally nonsensical without much in the way of realism, but all that is exactly what makes it awesome. Definitely hits that Kill Bill vibe in all the right spots, and dilutes it with a touch more humour. Recommended if you want to be entertained and don't mind a bit of gore.
Thoroughly enjoyable romp. Comes close to the line of ridiculousness on several occasions but deftly navigates to a satisfying conclusion.
8/10
This movie is incredibly stupid in so many ways.
I loved it.

This is an excellent movie that has completely surpassed my expectations. It has lots of amazing action and great comedy and wonderful performances from all the actors involved. The movie reminds me of Kill Bill.
