The action-comedy movie Bullet Train, which is initially set in Tokyo, starts off in characteristic action films made by Westerners looking east. But, Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt’s newly released film Bullet Train has failed to keep the audience excited.
Pitt, the star of “Bullet Train,” rides the train in search of a briefcase containing money. On the train, there are other assassins with the same objective besides Pitt. A number of actors make cameo appearances in “Bullet Train” due to the film’s numerous murderers and crooks.
Hiroyuki Sanada, who portrayed the father in Rush Hour 3, plays the role of Yuichi Kimura, a Japanese man in his 30s who seeks vengeance against the person who tried to kill his nine-year-old son by pushing him off a balcony. Yuichi passes Ladybug, played by Brad Pitt, as he makes his way to the spot where he would meet the criminal, who is travelling by Bullet Train to Kyoto. This scene foreshadows how the criminal and the rest of the cast will recur during the course of the movie.
The movie’s fight scenes are more intense, gory, and cruel thanks to the setting. But the comedy between “the Twins” – Lemon and Tangerine – in the movie is the movie’s real high point. Brian Tyree Henry and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, respectively, have portrayed the roles of Lemon and Tangerine.
The cinematography of the film is also noteworthy. Jonathan Sela is the cinematographer for “Bullet Train.”
Bullet Train – Watch it for Brad Pitt Action
Director David Leitch, meanwhile, is no stranger to embracing and breaking clichés in the genre. He has directed over a decade of popular blockbusters. After directing the groundbreaking John Wick with Chad Stahelski in 2014, Leitch provided a commendable sequel with Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde before switching from carefully choreographed action movies to comic sequels in Deadpool 2 and Hobbs & Shaw.
Fortunately, Bullet Train is Leitch’s strongest work since the pivot as he once more makes clichés look stylish and well-timed, opening with a Japanese cover of the Bee Gees’ Stayin’ Alive and repeated references to a children’s cartoon that prove to be crucial to the plot.
In contrast to his other works, Bullet Train’s battle scenes and violence are less memorable, the computer-generated graphics is at best dubious, and the running time is at least ten minutes too long. It’s almost as if the budget and the director’s aspirations weren’t fully aligned. But in order to keep the movie from being a drag, Leitch and team add a tonne more bells and whistles. He is greatly aided by a cast that is giving it their all and a script that, despite changing the nationalities of many characters, maintains the overall plot, the dark humour, and the Japanese location, much like Kung Fu Panda did by placing a bunch of Americans in China.
The film has failed to utilize the potential of its cast due to an incoherent screenplay and narrative.
Brad Pitt, the Oscar winner who plays an assassin who finds himself involved in a fairly tense struggle on board a fast locomotive, is the hero of the new action thriller Bullet Train, which boasts an amazing cast.
The Kissing Booth’s Joey King, Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry, and Knives Out’s Michael Shannon are just a few of the A-list actors who will play pivotal roles in the titanic struggle alongside Pitt.
In return for Pitt’s appearance in her movie The Lost City earlier this year, Sandra Bullock makes a brief appearance as well.
