Bullet Train

Bullet Train - where the end of the line just never ends!

Given that its slightly confusing in the beginning…..it gets seriously interesting very quickly and will hold you attention to the visual style, surprising twists and plenty of cameos throughout the film.

Brad Pitt’s unafraid of making fun of himself while maintaining his action star role. Cudos to the perfect chemistry and great humor from Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry.

The film is full of sub-plots that skillfully balance out all the humor and irreverence, will keep you on your toes and very much engaged!

Leitch's direction is amazing. The film has great style with vibrant colors and inventive camera work. Great soundtrack song choices that work perfectly with the scenes they are tied too.

I’ll admit I was concerned at the beginning of the film that the critics rating of 54% was going to ruin it for me. However it REALLY turned out to be an amazing fun filled, exciting film right up the very end.

p.s. Be sure and stay thru the credits - the film continues and you don’t want to miss the way they tie in scenes in the end - Well Done!

Ladybug (Brad Pitt) is an unlucky assassin who's determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs has gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans as his 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.
