Bullet Train (2022) Brad Pitt's New Hollywood Action Movie Review – Movierulz


Bullet Train

Do you want to get on a bullet train full of assassins? Well, get your ticket for Bullet Train, David Leitch’s new movie with which you’re going to have a blast. Premiere on August 5, 2022.

We’re kicking off the month of August at full speed thanks to Bullet Train, It is, in fact, one of the most outstanding films of the summer and we really wanted to sink our teeth into it for obvious reasons.

The first one, which is endorsed by the David Leitch label has performed wonderfully with titles like Atomic, Deadpool 2 or the Fast & Furious spin-off focused on Hobbs & Shaw. He is a great specialist in shooting action scenes and here is a golden opportunity to show off his skills.


The second is that this co-production between the United States and Japan has brought together a magnificent international cast headed by the best Brad Pitt (who has been dazzling us with more heterodox roles), Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Hiroyuki Sanada and Michael Shannon, among others.

Bullet Train

A true cast that brings shine to a script written by Zak Olkewicz (producer of Never turn off the light and head of the bookseller of La Calle del terror part 2: 1978) based on the novel by Kôtarô Isaka “Bullet Train”, to the sale in Spain through the publishing house Destino.


What is the movie about?

Bullet Train introduces us to a murderer who begins to think about giving his life a change. His code name is Ladybug and his mission is to get on the bullet train, swipe a briefcase with unknown contents, and get out of there without causing too much of a stir.


However, a streak of bad luck seems to have him doomed. After several jobs that have gone off the rails, he is convinced that he has a moral duty to finish his task peacefully, but that will be complicated considering that they are accompanying him on his journey. the professional assassins Limón and Mandarina and some adversaries are considered the deadliest on the planet.

Ladybug is still not aware of this situation so, before stepping on the bullet train, he decides to supply himself with non-lethal and unconventional weapons such as sleeping pills and avoids keeping a revolver that he will end up missing a lot…

Bullet Train

Relentless rhythm crossed stories and a magnificent climax

If you like action movies in which setting and physical comedy are essential (like the one Jackie Chan has been practicing for years), Bullet Train is going to be delicious for you.

It’s highly imaginative, agile, and full of memorable characters with extraordinary moments. The wildest whiplash, yes, is reserved for the last third of the film when all the conflicts hatch and the plot goes completely crazy using all the baits that had been launched previously: from poisonous snakes to great revelations.

There is action, yes, but there is also suspense, some drama, and black humor that makes this film Deadpool’s first cousin (without so much eschatology).

Additionally, we have the characters “bottled” in a limited space and on a journey of a specific duration so that, except for the explanatory flashbacks, almost the entire footage takes place in mandatory confinement.


This is not an obstacle for Bullet Train to use its imagination to create amazing set pieces, fully exploiting the dramatic, spatial, and lighting possibilities of a train of the latest generation: there is fun with the silent car, jokes with the prohibitive snacks that the staff sells of the company and even slaps in the cafeteria.

The shooting in the studio has allowed for a meticulous control of the production design, the artistic direction, and the photography in which there is no lack of neon lights and calls to traditional and current Japanese culture, more as an aesthetic framework than as a plot background.

In short, Bullet Train is light entertainment but very ingenious and fun: a success for the summer season. Saving some character whose presence is somewhat inflated and weighs down the first impasses of the film, the rest of the sequences flow at full speed towards a hilarious and throbbing ending of surprises, encounters, and fringes. Everything is well spun!

ASSESSMENT: Leitch takes advantage of an infallible formula for the summer: action, humor, and a cast in a state of grace in which Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Michael Shannon are out.

THE BEST: The hooligan tone: it is the perfect combination of humor and bloody action; a hilarious prank that flies by despite its length.

WORST: The entire Bud Bunny arc is shoehorned in and is the only block that makes the movie’s pacing falter.

Bullet Train: For a few years now, summer movie theaters have been falling into a rut where the big premieres are limited to the great delivery of superheroes on duty and a good handful of films for the little ones, displacing other entertainment films proposals to the platforms. streaming, and it’s been a while since we came across a movie like ‘Bullet Train‘, a wild action comedy that, however, does not give up the great show.

From the hand of David Leitch, the hand behind ‘Atomic’ or ‘Deadpool 2’, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of film we are facing, but what is surprising about the project is its high-class casting and a more generous display of media than what we can find in similar offers such as the great ‘Gunpowder Milkshake’ and even the resounding ‘No one’. It is logical to think that these budget steps have to do with the presence of Brad Pitt having a great time, who has probably entrusted the studio to release it globally.


Antidote against Marvel and DC

And it is not little to say in a scenario in which the public has only gone to theaters to see episodes of the Marvel serial, and is still stuck in the idea of ​​​​the blockbuster as part of something bigger that never quite arrives. If the shared universe gimmick allows for interconnections and a much larger story, it also offers a long-term complication and commitment that ends up taking its toll in the fourth phase or the third section of the fifth movement. The cinema has been fed up with itself.

Perhaps that is why this year the most stimulating films of other genres have achieved the strange communion of audiences and critics, with the cases of the supernatural ‘Elvis’, the necessary ‘Everything at once everywhere’ and the vertigo phenomenon of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, among many other proposals that have responded to the backlash of the monopoly of tights and capes such as ‘Ambulance’ or this ‘Bullet Train’, which rescue modes from another time to spit it back with extra unprejudiced fun.

Leitch’s film continues in the modes of criminal activity with British overtones and Tarantino heritage —those anachronistic labels to introduce the characters—, full of rock music that nobody listens to today and an attitude of a scoundrel movie from the mid-2000s that, however, do not bury most of its virtues: a vertiginous narration, well-constructed characters and a tangled puzzle of situations that generate several lines of simultaneous tension.

The return of crazy Brad Pitt from ’12 monkeys’ and ‘Snatch’

And it is that if the protagonist of Pitt is a weirdo that we want to see all the time, they do not miss his large cast of secondary, such as the memorable Lemon and Tangerine, the fleeting butcher of Bad Bunny, or the enigmatic anime bear. Everyone is on a moving train but there is no situation like ‘Unstoppable’ or ‘Speed’, in fact, part of the fun of development is waiting at each stop to see what surprise awaits the characters.

It’s not a good idea to give away any of the plots, but you can expect a good tangle of crime people interconnected in the most unlikely ways, lots of violence, untimely flashbacks, blood, funny jokes, some not-so-funny, hand fights, knife fights, gunshots, explosions, macabre humor, killers, hit men, slapstick humor, yakuza, cartels, unlikely and well-placed cameos, and an explosion of Kawai imagery to satisfy any otaku.

More than two hours at full speed fly by and that makes us forget during that time that the cinema designed for the big screen has to have a mortgage to a brand or franchise. ‘Bullet Train’ is a necessary gore-filled sprawl that you didn’t know you needed this summer, the backlash to the monolithic cascade of Marvel and DC, and the definitive confirmation that the great show is lived differently on the movie screen and knows otherwise without paying the tithe of superpowers.
