BULLET TRAIN - It's Wild, Crazy, Fun !

 

Ladybug (Brad Pitt) has one mission - to retrieve a certain brief case, which contains ten million  dollars, and get off the next train station. But as it turns out, it's not as simple as that. Several assassins are aboard the bullet train, and they're out to kill each other. Brad Pitt as the lead character is very funny without trying to. And  he's also great with his action scenes. He reportedly did 95% of his own stunts.     

And the cast of characters are just awesome. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry, play British assassins Tangerine and Lemon, who grew up together like brothers, and thus were called "the twins".  Their exchange of banters are hilarious ! They are clearly the stand-outs. Joey King as the  Prince is the seemingly innocent school girl, but looks as they say, are deceiving. Latino rapper Bad Bunny is the Wolf, who is out for revenge. While Zazie Beetz is the Hornet, an assassin who uses snake poison. There are more characters and surprise cameos, but I don't want to give everything away so as not to spoil the film. Better not check who's on the cast list.   

I don't understand the flak that this film is getting from some critics. 

This is one of the most entertaining movies I've seen this year. The action pieces are incredible, cinematography is colorful and stylish, and there's  plenty of humor. Directed by David Leitch who also helmed Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde, Hobbs & Shaw, and John Wick (uncredited).
