Directed by David Leitch, Bullet Train, based on a Japanese novel called Maria Beetle by Kōtarō Isaka, follows an assassin equipped with one job — retrieve a suitcase from the train. Little does he know there are other people on this train with ulterior motives.
I went into Bullet Train pretty blind, not knowing much apart from seeing one trailer. Starring Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aron Taylor-Johnson, and others, I also had low expectations walking into the theater as I don’t often love comedic action movies. But, to my surprise, I had fun through the whole film.

The first few minutes were slow, but the pace picked up immediately, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although the 126-minute runtime felt a bit long, in my opinion, the ending was well worth the wait as I’m a big fan of the plot lines connecting at the end. The flashbacks were jarring but necessary for the story to progress. Also, the movie had some unrealistic moments, but I understood them to be part of the comedy. Futhermore, I was sad to see certain actors that I was very excited about weren’t in the film for a long time. However, there were several surprising cameos along the way which were very exciting!
On to the performances, Brad Pitt as Ladybug, delivered an outstanding comedic performance and love seeing him in these comedy roles. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry were also standouts. What a duo! And I was also pleasantly surprised by Joey King’s performance. I have previously only seen her in the Kissing Booth on Netflix. Her British accent was very good, and I was happy to see her in a role where I could distinguish the character from her own personality. Nevertheless, I would recommend you to go see Bullet Train as it was a great experience to watch this in a theatre and laugh with an audience.
