Bullet Train (2022)
5/10
Good except for...

Warning: Spoilers
The girl who cannot act and just keeps getting saved over and over again by luck. I get that that's her thing in this movie but good grief it's tiresome to listen to her whiney voice the whole movie while watching her try to emote. I think that's what she was doing. It could have been constipation. She's not convincing as an innocent victim and she's not convincing as a bad guy. She's just annoying as hell. I have no clue who she is or how she managed to land such a big role next to so many name actors but I can only guess she has famous or wealthy parents.

The rest of the cast is fun and really good. Even the surprise cameos are great. The music was stellar and the story was really fun. It definitely had some Kill Bill vibes about it.

I will say, though, that it maybe strayed a little too close to being a Domino, from Deadpool, solo movie. The issue with that is that this spin takes this POC female character and does the Hollywood thing of redesigning her into a middle-aged white dude. Even worse is that the younger, POC actress who actually played Domino in Deadpool is in this but instead of being the lead she's now relegated to a five minute bit part. If you can overlook that and the truly awful girl I already discussed, then it's a fun flick.
