Brad Pitt leads the action-packed Bullet Train, a wild assassin story set on a high-speed train and based on Kotaro Isaka’s novel Maria Beetle. Directed by David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2), the film mixes stylish direction inspired by Guy Ritchie with a quirky, Tarantino-like vibe. Even though Hollywood’s take on Japan can seem over-the-top, the movie’s playful energy makes it easy to enjoy. Clever foreshadowing, a cast full of stars, and significant themes like fate and karma add real depth to this fast-paced ride.
