Bullet Train (2022)

Leitch has made a light fun action comedy that takes much of the best of his past work like John Wick and Deadpool 2 and offers a really fun time at the cinema. Funny, filled with fascinating drawn oddball characters, and overflowing with fun twists and turns, Bullet Train is perhaps a bit too silly, but so damn entertaining that doesn’t matter. It’s the kind id wild ride that makes going to the movies so much fun. 

The cast are all having a great time. Pitt is in his element and perfect as the loveable centre of this story. But he’s not alone. Everyone here does a great job of creating this cast of characters and making them living and breathing cartoon characters, even the few surprise cameos. 

Leitch pulls it all together so well, spinning his fish tale with clever abandon and style. He keeps it fairly light, even when hacking people up it’s all a little quick, kept mostly off screen, and moved on to the next. He keeps it fun. So grab your popcorn and sit back to enjoy.
