Starts off like a Guy Ritchie knock-off and ends like what Takashi Miike would try to make on a shoestring budget. The Japanese setting is about as inconsequential as its recent use in Cyberpunk 2077. And the whitewashing of the cast is a legitimate criticism. But the absurdity of a mostly-non-Asian cast in Japan did set the tone for a fun, mindless summer flick. Was satisfied catching this on Dolby Cinema.

A strange neo Guy Ritchie movie after some kind of meditation retreat, or maybe this is Wes Anderson smoking crack. At any rate, it's some kind of godawful abomination, although it does work some of the time. I just watched it cos I went to the multiplex and would have just about watched any stupid thing so while the joke was overextended, I am not disappointed.
5	Ytadel	5 _56th
I find my opinion on this one pretty schizophrenic and easily swayed either way. I'll read one review about it being twisty, stylish, fun & funny and be like "that seems right," then another about it being an overstuffed and overlong mess and be like "that seems right," then another about it being a great theater experience laden with star power and be like "that seems right," then another about being a Guy Ritchie wannabe with Tarantino wannabe dialogue and be like "that seems right." So idk.
5	Paxton	61 _38th
I don't know if there's a word for these hyper condensed movies that pack at least a 10 episode story arc into basically two episodes (Smokin' Aces, anyone?). I wouldn't want 8 more hours of this so I guess it's a success in that right. I liked most of the quirkiness for the characters (not so much the lady who says "bitch" every other word, that's not a real quirk). The problem with a movie like this is the desire to subvert your expectations is nullified by the negligible background provided.
4	Detox	59 _28th
There's absolutely no need for this to be this bloated in length, gag density, characters and colors. But maybe it's like that because without it we'd immediately recognize that the film doesn't have that much to offer. With its ironic and over the top attitude Bullet Train is kind of fun at first, but when it tries to sell us a deeper and meaningful plot while constantly throwing shit in our faces, it fails in the end. Props to Brad Pitt though.
4	Leonardis	82 _40th
This movie kicks all sorts of ass. Call me immature or pretentious, but I laughed quite a bit with it. The fighting and action was all legitimately well done though. The whole thing is just a vibe. Johnson and Henry kind of made the movie for me, but all of the cast performed admirably, including the cameos. It’s not one of the best movies I’ve seen, but I throughly enjoyed it. This movie promised me a fun time. That’s what I wanted and that’s what I got.

A Ritchie/Tarantino wannabe with an upbeat tone that tries to play it for laughs, but a script that’s nowhere near witty enough. Starts poorly, picks up a bit in the mid-section, then drags on too long and had lost my interest way before the end. There are loads of choreographed fight scenes (which quickly become tiresome), some shoddy CGI and wonky Cockney accents, and I just didn’t care about any of the characters here. Probably something I’d have enjoyed more back when I was about 12.
3	The Pirate	91 _94th
One of the best movie experiences I have had in the theater in a long time! The action was just stylized enough without being too cheesy, the story unfolded in some genuinely unexpected ways, and the acting/dialogue made this movie super fun! These are characters that you'll never tire of, even in the moments where it admittedly does drag. Pitt deserves another Oscar!
3	natebarrios	35 _7th
every screenwriting class has that one fratty dude that only plays triple-A video games and has a can of Monster on his desk and this is the movie he wants to make.

2	amazedemon	66 _70th
Bullet Train is quite cheesy, sleekly shot, a bit shallow, and a surprisingly fun ride. The film is a tale of ransoms & hitmen, revenge & fate, and over-the-top action sequences that rely heavily on luck. Leitch directed Deadpool 2, and his stylistic instincts are very much present here...for better or worse. Pitt & Henry are great. Sanada elevates the film every time he's onscreen. King was miscast; her accent work quite bad. Beetz was underused.
2	Dakota99	8 _88th
Bullet Train is ridiculously stupid in a lot of good ways. It leans so well into this cartoonish, bottle episode vibes, but doing so with fun characters and a great sandbox to let them play in. It struggles to not overly complicate itself and tied in all these storylines together, but that really doesn’t bother me that much with the type of movie this is. Leitch’s schtick isn’t perfect, but it blends well with how vibrant this movie looks & feels, and in the end, I really appreciated this.
2	BillyShears	70 _53rd
Talk about one Crazy Train! strangles Gene Shalit with a snake Starts zany and annoying and slowly becomes zany and wild.
2	Corbad	65 _43rd
The concept is great and bursts of style are appreciated, but it really needs a tightening. The film, unlike its sleek and efficient titular train, sprawls. Brad Pitt is a charming protagonist, for the most part, and yeah - the pieces are there - but they just aren’t snappy enough. Only decent.
2	TheDiceman	70 _82nd
Very amusing.
2	Quintonjamin	80 _80th
This movie was constant fun and fantastic action. Can't wait to see what Leitch does next.
1	KMcNeil	7 _70th
Way better than expected.
1	luord	52 _29th
It commits two related errors: it stretches what could have been a hugely entertaining 100 minute movie into over 2 hours, and dedicated way too much of that extra time to its most obnoxious character by far.
1	jacobclark12	44 _31st
I mean, it is fun with some good laughs (and a great appearance from Michael Shannon), but Bullet Train needs some fat trimmed to make it feel nice and tight like other films of its kind.
1	alohim	80 _32nd
Well, I have to admit it has funny moments, but on the other hand it is too long with lots of not interesting, boring talkative scenes. I have even fall asleep for few minutes during first hour at cinema! And I caught myself thinking about what I will do after movie during some boring scenes as well.
1	Ofterdingen	46 _29th
Too long, too busy and too much lousy CGI. Feels like most of the movies exclusively on Netflix.
1	BadFurDay	9 _95th
Critics sure are oddly harsh about this one, they almost convinced me not to go but I still went and loved every minute of it! Like a runaway train, the movie starts slowly but the pace keeps accelerating over and over until everything comes crashing at the end. The only major negative I can think of is the whitewashing of the cast compared to the source material, but Hollywood will be Hollywood. Go and watch it with expectations of a real life cartoon and you'll have a good time, guaranteed.
1	daveyp	50 _4th
Someone has seen Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, clearly. Poor imitation that lacks the style and authenticity of those films its trying to copy. Full of intentionally bad 'banter' and inane dialogue, mostly from an unbearable cockney character that comes down to little more than lol he's English, let's get him to so say 'bloody' and 'bell end' whenever we can't think of something to write. Drowning in irony and predictable repetitive jokes. Brad Pitt lifts it a bit, but it still sinks.
1	joel-w-m	7 _64th
A fizzy concoction of twisty mystery, genuine relationships (see Kimura and father; the citrus brothers), well-choreographed combat, and tanks of humour that occasionally go off the rails (the dark comedic takes on death go a bit too far at times-see The Hornet fight), all within a fun flashback-filled script framework built around Brad's bad-luck (or should I say ill-fated?) 'Bug. Loses steam in the third act though, with its shift from wild multi-party conflict to straight forward team-up.
1	P u l p	58 _49th
Let's download and watch Thomas the Tank Engine!
1	christof	80 _54th
Hmmmmm.... fun and all: had a snappy bubblegum-tarantino-guy-richie-esque feel to it. Bonus points for the inclusion of a Pantheon of Thomas the Tank Engine Jungian Archetypes (hang on a second, was that the girl from The Kissing Booth?).
1	guy piranha	65 _53rd
Check Leitch's portfolio and you'll know what to expect. Accredit at least 5 points to watching it in the cinema. This isn't a prequel/sequel/remake of anything and it's also not a marvel movie. So go pay for it, let the industry know this is the way.
1	td888	70 _76th
Just blank your mind and enjoy the ride.
1	Mac Six	65 _20th
I was well entertained,yet the film was a bit too much in places.Especially towards the end it really seemed very over the top.The cast really saves a lot with their performance.
1	stuie299	75 _47th
For a mindless action flick it's rather good. Everything was stylized nicely. Brad Pitt of course steals the show. I wish Michael Shannon was given more to work with. He's usually better than what he showed here. Yeah there's a lot of ridiculous and over the top aspects, but honestly just sit back and have fun. There's enough clever writing to balance everything out. And the little character twist/reveal they do at the end was a nice touch.
1	PerryStroika	63 _53rd
What's right here is the pacing. Naturally we have questions: why are all these people on the train, what's in the briefcase, what do they want? It's not that the answers are brilliant; it's that they're doled out a pace where your curiosity is continually being fed, and that breadcrumb trail is engaging enough to pull you to the end.
1	TheRealJ-Ro	80 _70th
This is a very high 80 that could move to an 85. Do yourself the favour and give yourself to this movie because it is bonkers. Quick-witted dialogue, multiple intersecting storylines, cameos for days, all crafted by the ultra-stylish David Leitch. This movie doesn't want to teach you any lessons, it doesn't want to preach good and evil, it just wants to fill your plate with cool scenes and fun ideas, and have you gobble them down and leave the theatre satisfied. It accomplished that easily.
1	KasperL	70 _65th
Colorful characters and a bunch of flashbacks makes this a fun ride. Often comes off as a Guy Ritchie pastiche but it's a pretty good one.
1	EastonD	20 _20th
It reminded me of Smokin Aces. I forgot I ever saw Smokin Aces. Smokin Aces is a terrible film. Thanks for the reminder Bullet Train. Bullet Train is better than Smokin Aces so bravo. Bullet Train is a saucer of Guy Ritchie/Quentin Tarantino cum that sat neglected on a windowsill for far too long. Obnoxious and exhausting in worst way.
1	aross	40 _37th
Mindless movie and may not have been in the right mood for it, but did not have as much fun with it as a lot of others.
1	matthagen	64 _79th
I don't know how anyone could hate this movie, but there is apparently plenty of it out there. It's a wild, stylized, Guy Ritchie-ish ride with plenty of humor, cameos, and even some wisdom to share, as throwaway as some may perceive it. I'm glad I didn't skip over this one.
1	NothingsGood	30 _20th
I find it wildly ironic that the same actor who delivered the line "How's that working out for you?" in Fight Club is the star of this too-clever-for-Tarantino episode of Seinfeld. Stop trying to make John Wick a comedy - you got it right the first time.
1	chmul_cr0n	64 _38th
Smokin Aces on a Train Ist leider alles so möchtegern-cool, möchtegern-lustig, möchtegern-interessant, möchtegern-spannend. Man hat zwar so seine paar Lieblinge, die man nicht sterben sehen will, aber das ganze Setup wird so wenig angerissen, dass man keine wirklichen Erwartungen an Plot und Storyverlauf hat, und auch nicht wirklich eintauchen kann. Daher kann auch keine Spannung aufkommen. Der Film ist aber trotzdem ganz nett. Also diese Sachen fallen alle auf, aber sie stören nicht.

0 points for the selfindulgant wink to Kill Bill. 0 points for the chest beating that the jokes are not only a wink to Tarrantino, but are in itself actually funny and well crafted. Which they are absolutely not. 0 points for the parade of stars doing their shittiest work (except from Brian Henry, but how can a scarce glimps of good acting keep this monstrosity from being a childrens play?). 0 points for giving me a great time and plenty of laughs breaking it apart in bewilderment.
