Leave your thoughts about Bullet Train.
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriBullet Train feels like someone crossbred Kill Bill with a Final Destination movie. And at times, David Leitch’s film is almost as glorious as that description makes it sound — elaborate and ridiculous but dedicated to making the elaborate and the ridiculous feel … well, not plausible, exactly, but certainly compelling and fun. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperUnlike so many of the cookie-cutter, wisecracking-assassin movies in recent memory, Bullet Train acknowledges its outlandishness from the beginning and yet also manages to connect so many dots in creative, gotcha fashion. |
| CineVueChristopher MachellDavid Leitch once again proves himself one of the most adept action directors in Hollywood. |
| ColliderRoss BonaimeBullet Train is knowingly absurd and has plenty of fun with the wild lengths it can go, and for the most part, that keeps Bullet Train on the rails. |
| PolygonJoshua RiveraCartoonish as it is, Bullet Train is committed to letting its core cast make as big an impression as they can through quirks and fights, as Olkewicz’s knotty script ping-pongs between past and present. |
| CNETRichard TrenholmIt's a gleefully exaggerated high-speed journey into action and comedy driven by swaggering star turns and first class boxcar brawls, and I'd work on that railroad all the live-long day -- no, I don't think I can keep this up. Bullet Train is just a hell of a fun time at the movies, OK? |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThere’s a time and a place for mayhem, and that’s essentially what Bullet Train is: two hours of fights, carnage, and witty repartee. Oh, it’s too long, to be sure – probably at least by 20 minutes. And its puzzle-like structure is too complicated for its own good. But, taken on its own terms, it’s fun and energetic as only this sort of film can be. |
| Slant MagazineWes GreeneDavid Leitch’s film pulls off the notable feat of making human beings out of cartoonishly violent psychopaths. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiBullet Train is a fun flick, to be sure, reminiscent of director Guy Ritchie’s better crime comedies such as “The Gentlemen” with Hugh Grant. But, as the title suggests, it’s louder and faster. And, a warning to the squeamish, there’s a swimming pool’s worth of blood. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe cameos and third act actor introductions turn this into an all-star romp — of sorts — further lightening the tone. |
