If there was ever a movie that would come under the category of action/thriller, Bullet Train would be the top contender. The blend of Hollywood action mixed with Japan’s setting was a visual treat throughout. The introductions for each one of the main cast were perfect and they never came off as too repetitive.
The film was in a constant state of action without making its audience feel exhausted. Brad Pitt gave a great performance and the rest of the cast had amazing choreography in the set pieces. However, when it comes to which actor stole the show, it is without a doubt, Aaron-Taylor Johnson.
