Starring Brad Pitt, Joey King, and even Bad Bunny, Bullet Train is a wild ride, literally. Taking place on a Japanese bullet train, several assassins and special operatives are on this train, all leading back to one person. Brad Pitt’s character, is an operative who’s on a simple grab and go mission, just grabbing a suitcase, trying to work on his anger and be more zen. He also has a weird sort of so-bad-it’s-good luck? This mission, however, will prove to be a little more complicated than that. Another set of shadow operators are Lemon and Tangerine, a pair of British brothers who have been hired to return a mysterious mob boss’s son and keep a suitcase with his ransom in it, that being the same suitcase Brad Pitt needs. Tangerine is a quick-tempered, witty man, while his partner, Lemon, is an easy going, but still deadly operator who has an obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine. Kimura is a Japanese man whose son was pushed off a roof. Told he would meet who did this to his son on the train he arrives only to find a small British girl who promptly knocks him out. This girl is Prince, who plans on killing the mob boss that Lemon and Tangerine are trying to deliver back his son to. Bad Bunny’s character is a Mexican man who wants revenge on whoever poisoned his wife and family, he believes they are on the Bullet Train. Now that we have all of our players on the train they begin to go about their objectives, interfering with each other. This is an excellent movie although at the end it does get a little too fast and furious/mission impossible-y, with explosions and such. Other than that I’d give it a good 8/10.
