Bullet Train (2022)
6/10
good setup - nice try, but failed in the long run
3 October 2022
It is like a cake gone wrong a bit: all the ingredients are there, still it is not tasty.

Especially in the first half of the movie I wondered if I were in a flat copy/mix of pulp fiction and kill bill - but the dialogues and story wouldn't start to sparkle, so it kept being flat ( - and even a bit boring, such a shame...)

the second half of the movie got weirder and a zig zag of twists but I got lost.

I liked the attitude written for Brad Pitt, I liked the twins (although again no sparkling - they tried so hard to be a witty and cool duo like in pulp fiction...), all the other characters were there too short to leave an impression.

So - nice try, but not really convincing.

Worth enough to spend 2 hours - but only once.
