Review of Bullet Train (2022) by Mattang — 18 Aug 2022
Sometime it is difficult to understand all the terrible reviews. This is all overall a really entertaining movie. A bit of lock stock a bit of Tarantino a bit of John Wick which is not a surprise since the director was also there.
Yes the story does not flow perfectly and it feels longer than it is. Yes the final train crash scene is as unlikely as in any hollywood epic, forgetting any detail of physics and reality. Yes the scenes with the japanese toilet functions feel old stuff.
But in the end it is what it is i.e. an irreverent, funny, action movie with some excellent actors and characters (absolutely loved tangerine and lemon) and enough blood to fill a swimming pool and it still does not feel bad about it.
Also the hints at personal crisis or therapists is interesting. For a non-english native the english version was a bit challenging so I will watch it surely again.
