Bullet Train feels like someone crossbred Kill Bill with a Final Destination movie. And at times, David Leitch’s film is almost as glorious as that description makes it sound — elaborate and ridiculous but dedicated to making the elaborate and the ridiculous feel … well, not plausible, exactly, but certainly compelling and fun.

The cameos and third act actor introductions turn this into an all-star romp — of sorts — further lightening the tone.

Filme muito bom e engraçado é também com muita ação, em minha opinião poderia ter mais reconhecimento. Personagens ótimos, comédia ótima e deveria virar um dos 10 melhores filmes de ação no estilo de ação igual a John wick.

Bullet Train is stupid fun—all neon-drenched style over substance. It’s the kind of late-summer flick that coasts on nonsense, violence, and actors trying out questionable accents. The film is a solid showcase for hand-to-hand combat up until it devolves into CGI drudgery.

Leitch’s emphasis on excessive and nearly nonstop stunt-filled action is hardly surprising. His lack of directorial discipline, however, is. The guy apparently couldn’t help himself, piling on the action beats until they become numbing. By the end, you’re more than ready to get off this Bullet Train, feeling drained and disheartened.

Bullet Train feels like it comes from the same brain as “Snatch,” wearing its pop style on its sleeve — a “Kill Bill”-like mix of martial arts, manga and gabby hitman movie influences, minus the vision or wit that implies.

It rattles strenuously on and on and on with unexciting and uninterestingly choreographed fights, cameos which briefly pep up the interest and placeholder non-lines where the funny material should have gone.

Like the hyper-aerodynamic train slipping through the night, the fight passages that should be the film’s saving grace come out textureless and frictionless.

Very underrated. 2 hours of pure fun. Very interesting plot twists and characters that the movie actually makes you care about.

Really fun movie. Weirdly barely any Japanese people though. Thought that kind of broke the setting a bit. Other than that, it's absurd and fun. Worth a watch.

A mix of (toned down) Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, Bullet Train is a violently entertaining action comedy that works best in the first 90 minutes until the action sequences become to stretched.

Interesting at the beginning but then fell off quickly. The first part was well paced with fun and smart twists but then they killed the best two characters and it descended into gratuitous violence and boring action scenes. Couldn't wait it was over.

Typical Hollywood merchandise from today The film is superficial, loud, fast, wild and crass. I feel sorry for anyone who likes it, because I don't think these are good films that you remember for a long time.
