Review of Bullet Train (2022) by Vandreren — 06 Nov 2022
Always painful to sit through a film trying too hard to be edgy. This was excruciating. Endless yammering, garbled slathering, muddled babbling, awkward preening and sword fights. Brad cranked it up to maximum vapidity with this one.
At least in Snatch he was being intentionally annoying and incomprehensible. Here he's just a mealymouthed, permastoned, mentally invalid, mouth breathing snowflake. His most autobiographical role to date.
The script is hacky, the action cheesy, the acting atrocious, the direction kitschy. It's as if the filmmakers literally set out to make the worst trainwreck possible. Hell, this dumpster fire wasn't even filmed in Japan.
Hollywood just doesn't know how to make interesting, original films anymore. At least it wasn't another cookiecutter superhero mcmovie, I'll give it that. I guess they're trying as best they can, can't ask any more from these bugs than that.
