Bullet Train is an upcoming American neo-noir action comedy thriller film which has been directed by David Leitch, and written by Zak Olkewicz. The film is based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle (published in English as Bullet Train) by Kōtarō Isaka. It recently got into a controversy of not having enough Asian actors even after being based on a Japanese novel, but such controversies are a part and parcel of production. Anyways there is immense hype around this Brad Pitt starrer and its world premiere was held a few days ago and the early reviews have now starting popping up. Following is a roundup of the early reviews for the film which will surely get you on the hype-train or should I say Bullet Train?
Bullet Train Is A Crowd-Pleaser
In the film, a trained killer Ladybug wants to give up the life but is pulled back in by his handler Maria Beetle in order to collect a briefcase on a bullet train heading from Tokyo to Kyoto. Once onboard, he and the other competing assassins onboard discover that their objectives are all connected. The early reactions praise Brad Pitt film saying that it is a really fun ride with some slick and goofy action sequences. However, almost all reactions say that the film drops a little towards the end yet remains a crowd-pleaser and a one time must watch.
Really wish I'd seen #BulletTrain with a big audience as it'll be a crowdpleaser. Darkly funny with inventive action, an excellent cast and the most unexpected references. It runs out of steam near the end, but it's a fun ride all the same. pic.twitter.com/T0CBnVoScA

Bullet Train = John Wick x Snatch x Knives Out
Bullet Train: Throw Snatch and John Wick in a blender and let it explode. I had fun with this (mostly because of the game cast) up until it goes completely off the CGI rails. Also very impressed that they made Aaron-Taylor Johnson an appealing onscreen presence. Truly a first.

Saw #BulletTrain this morning and had an absolute blast. Like Knives Out meets John Wick. https://t.co/kRYTbUZz8y

Contrary To The Title, It Isn’t That Fast
BULLET TRAIN: Could move a little … faster … but I'll happily take a goofy/Goofy-mode Brad Pitt and whack-a-mole cameos in this late summer heat. Both impressed and distressed about how quickly David Leitch has hyper-stylized violence to a neon-bright smiley-face aesthetic. pic.twitter.com/nknZH3TeaF
