Bullet Train gets Huge Response - Brad Pitt's Action Movie
The early reviews for Brad Pitt's new action film Bullet train are very conflicting. The movie is based on Kotaro Isaka's Japanese mystery book Maria Beetle. David Leitch, who also helmed john Wick and Deadpool 2, wrote and produced Bullet train with Zak Olkewicz. The cast of the movie features a number of well-known performers, including Sandra Bullock, Pitt, Logan Lerman, and Joey King.
The plot of Bullet train centres on Ladybug, played by Pitt, an unemployed American hired gun who is brought back in for one final job. During the trip from tokyo to Morioka on a high-speed bullet train, highly skilled individuals appear prepared to thwart Ladybug's objectives. He has to fend off the five rival assassins in order to get his hands on a mystery suitcase. Action breaks out as the numerous trained murderers on board the train engage in a fight to the death. The passengers learn during the train voyage that each of their missions is connected to another. The initial reviews for Bullet train depict a mixed image, despite the fact that it appeared to be a fun summer action movie.
Now that reviews for Bullet train are available, most critics have had a mixed reaction. The general agreement among critics is that the film more than makes up for what it lacks in depth and character development with its snappy banter and nonstop action. One of the best action films in the genre, Bullet train is hailed and lauded for its tightly filmed action sequences within the passenger train, as well as its superb editing and well-choreographed fighting. While many comment on the star-studded cast's consistently strong performances, many feel the language is lacking.
