FILM: 7.5
I just revisited Bullet Train, and it's still a wild ride! While it's not without its flaws, it's still a lot of fun.
Director David Leitch knows how to deliver non-stop action, and he doesn't disappoint here. The movie is jam-packed with thrilling sequences that'll have you asking for more. From start to finish, it's a rollercoaster of excitement and adrenaline.
That being said, Leitch does stumble in a few places. Like with Deadpool 2, he doesn't quite capture the full potential of the film's tone. It's got plenty of quirky comedy and flashy action, but it could have used a bit more magic and drama to really elevate it.
But the cast is definitely a highlight. Brad Pitt is fantastic as the reluctant assassin, bringing just the right amount of charm and wit to the role. Joey King is a scene-stealer as Prince, and Brian Tyree Henry is a blast to watch. And let's not forget about Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who delivers a surprisingly great performance.
The movie does drag a bit in the middle, and it's about 10-15 minutes too long. The need to explain things in flashback slows down the pace, which is a bit of a bummer. But overall, Bullet Train is still a fun, action-packed thrill ride that's worth checking out. Leitch may not have nailed it completely, but he's definitely getting better at delivering top-notch entertainment.
