Bullet Train (2022)

Unlucky assassin Ladybug is determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug’s latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe—all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives—on the world’s fastest train.

I wasnt sure I’d like this movie when I read the bio but thought I’d give it a go. Oh boy am I glad I did, dry humour script with precision timing from brilliant actors was to die for. This story of deadly assassins on a bullet train is unbelievably stupendous action packed surprises galore. I have never laughed out loud where tears rolled down my face watching a movie maybe ‘A Weekend at Bernie’s” a long time ago. There was no way at any point where you would have time to leave for a quick pee an not miss a vital part of this enthralling fast pace journey. I would definitely catch this superb movie at the flicks again.

This was a mindless Bizarre Ultra-Violent Funny Non Stop Action SPOOF with endless plot twists of Quentin Tarantino and James Woo type movies, with multiple Hit Men, Mexican Cartel, Japanese Yakuza, and Samurai in a Speeding Train in Japan, with Joey King as the Evil Cute Girl. Best seen and enjoyed on the Big Screen.

After seeing this movie a second time I think it’s finally time for me to write a review. This is one of my top three best movies I have seen this year, the fighting and comedic timing are so good, and this movie and somehow the fights never seem repetitive even though they all take place within a train. The cast, don’t get me started on the cast. All of them are so good and play their roles to near perfection, Brad Pitt seems perfect in this role and never misses and beats. The surprise cameos in this movie are also a lot of fun and most of these charters I wish I could invite to the bar for a pint.

Overall this movie is a lot of fun, and a great way to wrap up the relatively dry movie summer. This movie makes me appreciate fun, silly, action movies that I once thought were impossible to make. Get off your couch and go watch it now!
