About this deal

To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. There’s a lot to unpack here as the film features more than a handful of characters, with that sort of fast-talking dialogue that’s as fast as the bullet train itself. With a well-developed cast of characters led by Brad Pitt who goes by the nickname Ladybug, the storyline progresses as background stories are filled in along the way. Not only that, the breaking-the-fourth wall that is so popular in Deadpoolalso peaks its head out from time to time. The color palette for this action thriller is a rich rainbow full of colors that never stops dazzling the senses.

Mission Accomplished: Making of Bullet Train– Director David Leitch gives us the genesis of the story as well as regales us with his personal journey through films (first as a stuntman, then a stunt coordinator then transitioning into directing). But this script allows some unique personalities to collide, all made accessible through the psychology and personality traits of Thomas The Tank Engine. A time when every director wanted to riff on Tarantino, and only a few came close to pulling it off, with the likes of Carnahan and Ritchie coming out of this maelstrom intact and apart from other peers, and Leitch clearly more than prepared to hark back to this questionable period in an effort to inject some 2022 oomph into the old formula.This all builds toward a hectic climax, and if it feels the destination was all a bit too slight, getting there was the fun part. Sony's 4K release of Bullet Train is unsurprisingly spectacular, demo in every way, with fabulous video and audio and a few extras to round out the set.

presentation, but it is a more refined and spatially capable listen that is the clear superior of the two. It's easy to see where films like Snatch, Kill Bill, and anime shows heavily influenced the style of the movie with their "in-your-face" camera swoops and pans, along with graphics that display character names on the screen. Select Scene Stunt Previs (1080p; 3:57): Comparison of early concepts of stunts performed by stuntmen and the final scenes from the film.Sandra Bullock plays the role of Ladybug’s dispatcher Maria Beetle, but for most of the film is only a voice on the other side of a phone. A quick EPK promo type of look at the making of the film with cast and crew interviews, the stunts, and more. Aaron Tyler-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry play “twin” brothers Tangerine and Lemon (who is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine); Joey King as Prince a sociopathic narcissist bent on revenge; Andrew Koji as Kimura, who is looking to kill the person who shoved his son off a rooftop; and fun cameos by Zazie Beetz, Masi Oka, Karen Fukuhara, and Michael Shannon. Bullet Train Goes Off the Rails – A series of promotional spots with “Lemon” and “Tangerine” kissing up to a bunch of NBA players.

A couple of the highlights include Brian Tyree Henry and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Lemon and tangerine. And the great thing is, that all these elements have congealed together to make this a blast of a viewing experience.The stunts make up the bulk of the bonus features, with a mini-documentary about them, a featurette with the casts’ training to behave and act like professional killers, and pre-visualizations of action sequences that showcase how the entire movie was put together. There are a few celebrity cameos that I didn’t see coming, but for the unspoiled – I’ll leave those as a surprise. Spoilers Ahead] Channing Tatum’s cameo in the movie is one of the funnier moments, as well as Ryan Reynolds appearance as the assassin Carver (both were uncredited).

The 4K image with Dolby Vision looks exquisite and demo-worthy and the Dolby Atmos audio track sounds lovely and loud. Bullet Train Goes Off the Rails (1080p, 4:36): Lemon and Tangerine pitch the film in conjunction with the NBA.

In recent years, Pitt has been a prolific Hollywood producer with production credits on films such as 12 Years a Slave, The Big Short, and Moonlight. With a Native 4K presentation, and Sony behind it, there was really no doubt that this modern, decent budget production was going to look spectacular. Bullet Train is not for everyone, but this reviewer really enjoyed its often dark humor and action set pieces. What I found most refreshing here is that the film is in on the jock, but despite the multiple characters and plot threads, it brings them all together very nicely.
