Bullet Train (2022)
6/10
Untrealistic CGI In An Otherwise Excellent Action Flick
6 May 2024
So this film is a hard one. I loved the Kill Bill-style narrative and screen-play. The Yakuza v Ladybug and the other attendees of this unfortunate Bullet Train to Kyoto.

I am however extremely frusted by the unrealistic and stupid cgi from people running up a Bullet Train (not possible) to fighting on the roof.

The choreography is top-level. The stunts inside the train are brilliant. It just is runined by stupidity. I love the idea and the concept but please try and make films realistic.

We can do action films without the need of countless CGI usage. It is very dull seeing the same impossible action sequences from films recently.

However I loved the storyline. Brad's acting and terrible Japanese was great to view. The casting was superb and I loved the interaction-of-comedy between the actors. Chemistry of casting was absolutely nailed.

I however just can't get over the end which is like something a child created with a toy trainset and a storyboard. That is so disappointing as the general film was thoroughly enjoyable and a riot.

Just bare in mind that adults with realistic action expecations are watching these movies. Please look back to the great (RIP) Sonny Chiba and what he did for movies as a key reference point example.

I'm so sad that this is happening so much to otherwise what would be great movies. A 6/10.
