If you're fed up of dreary Oscar contenders making points and taking an age to get to them, this is for you. Entertaining, fast paced, action romp with good set pieces and plenty of fun moments.
And to the critics: no, there is no "character development" and yes, the "plot" is not that believable. It's light entertainment not Samuel Beckett.
Plot summary
Unlucky assassin Ladybug (Brad Pitt) is determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs has gone off the rails. Fate has other plans, however: Ladybug's latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe--all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives--on the world's fastest train. The end of the line is just the beginning in this non-stop thrill-ride through modern-day Japan.

Fast paced and fun
Fun, funny and wild
This is a highly entertaining action-comedy that oozes style. It's extremely fun and a bit on the outrageous side, not meant to be taken too seriously. It's filled with funny and memorable moments. The action is awesome, well-shot and clear, which is no surprise coming from the guy who directed John Wick, Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2.
There are a ton of characters and I like them all. The cast does such a great job, especially Brian Tyree Henry and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. I remember first seeing Brian Tyree Henry in Atlanta and really enjoying that role. Since then, he has taken on vastly different roles and killed all of them. And I already thought Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a great actor, but the way he completely transforms into his character is remarkable. To the point where you don't see Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Literally. I didn't realize it was him until the credits rolled.
If I had to come up with negatives, I would say it's a bit hectic at times, but not enough to take me out of it. And the story borders on being convoluted, but I was able to follow it all so I'll call it intricate instead.
In the end I had a great time with this movie and would definitely watch it again, although I'll be turning on subtitles since some dialogue was hard to understand in a Snatch kind of way.
EDIT: On second viewing, my negatives disappeared. And a couple things that stood out even more: The music is beastly and Brad Pitt's facial expressions in the reaction shots are priceless. (2 viewings, early screening UltraScreen 8/2/2022, UltraScreen 8/17/2022)
I had so much fun wacthing this
Rare seeing Brad Pitt in a movie like this but from what I understand the director is a good friend of his. It's an action movie the reads like Smoking Aces. An ensemble cast with a few different stories in it, of which, interestingly enough Brad Pitt's story as a man named Ladybug could be considered just as important as the others despite being the star.
Unlike Smoking Aces, the Bullet Train in itself is a character and a very expensive one that makes it a blockbuster. On top of that the very cool Celebrity Cameos that prove this director makes friends with everyone he works with in Hollywood.
The Japanese back drop was cool not just because I'm an anime fan but because it made the film and the bullet train visual amazing to look at, but Hollywood needs more Japanese actors who can speak English. Hiroyuki Sanada is become the Danny Trejo of the Far East.
Its action packed and its humorous everything I want when watching a movie in theatres.

so disappointing! 5/10
Channing Tatum, WHY???? Totally ruined it for me
Brad pitt is still the hottest man to grace the stage!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love Brad Pitt. Anything Brad Pitt. Thank you.
I'll admit. The movies you have been uploading lately have totally sucked. But THIS. This is a masterpiece on its own level, and I just wanted to log in to say "Thanks".
Brad couldn't save this...........It's like a steal from "Snatched" but way worse
2 hours of pure boredom and you get Ryan Reynolds for 5 seconds...
Thanks Freeman...awesome movie. 10/10 for me
Awesome Movie such a great time
Hollywood has lost all ability to create good movies. This is average at best.
who are these people rating this movie below 5!! Pretty sure they are expecting drama and award-winning tony acting in a movie which is supposed to be only pure chaos!
respect freeman
After Maverick, this has to be my 2nd favo movie this year.
This film is truly a masterpiece, since min 1 we can appreciate a hard work on photography direction and color palette thoroughly picked, the impeccable performance of Benito devinetly gets all the weight in the film, I would highly recommend this audiovisual piece of art to every 7th art lovers. SOLID 10/10
Great movie
Ryan reynolds is just awesome in this movie????????
thank you so much. one of the best action-comedy in a long time.
4k no seeder
Thank you so much Freeman, Appreciate all the work you guys put in...
This is awesome FREEMAN! Enjoyed this a lot! Thanks so much!!!
This movie ok for time pass, definitely entertaining. But not the best still, considering the top casts in the movie. This is more comedy than pure action. And Brad is not the top dog as well! This could have been better though! At least the movie goes fast like the title!
Very entertaining
Long time in getting this download but wow worth the wait bestest movie of 2022 by a long way.Enjoy the ride.Awesome movie
Most awesome movie I've seen in a long time. Finally something I can genuinely enjoy a LOT while watching. Very funny, several good fight scenes, and a fantastic plot twist. Loved it!
Bing!
Irrelevant political posts should be deleted...we get it you are in a cult but we are here to talk about movies
Fantastic movie! It is basically just a very well made action movie and it is great.
Bob - Why don't you save us simpletons the time of watching "bad" movies and put up a list of "bob" approved movies to save us from our bad choices. I really like the comments because I can scroll and see if this movie is "bob approved," and if not, then NO SIR! I WILL NOT WATCH!!! Or more likely just make my own decision about the movie, but bob - you provide a A1 service my friend. Stay Angry!
Best Ryan Reynolds movie ever. I wish all his future movies are like this.
typical hollywood , cuz they're ripoff artists..
