Kevflix And Chillβs review published on Letterboxd:
A raucous trip that entertains from departure to destination. First and foremost, this insane cast of characters is an absolute delight. Brad Pitt owns, as well he should. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree HenryΒ are perhaps the best onscreen twins since Schwarzenegger and DevitoΒ π―ββοΈ. Several cameos add lots of fun to the watch. (To be honest, I didnβt watch trailers or look at who was listed as cast members, so some of the ones that surprised me may not be a surprise to general audiences.) While the action sequences arenβt quite as strong or sustained as Leitchβs other films, there are a couple wow moments, and plenty of blood and gore, which I love. It feels like above all elseΒ Bullet Train really pushes for the humor, which doesnβt always land at times; and is downright silly in others. Donβt take that to mean itβs not funny, though, because I definitely laughed a ton. While I donβt think this is a βmust watch in the theaterβ experience, I think the silly humorΒ definitely plays better in packed theaters and/or with large groups of friends.Β
So while, I didnβt love it as much as I was hoping, itβs never boring, the cast is a delight, and for what itβs worth I do still have plans to see it again. Β Β
