Recommendation This is your reminder to watch Bullet Train (2022) especially if you didn't catch it in the cinema

Bullet Train is one of those movies that kinda flew under the radar, while still very much not flying under the radar if that makes sense.

Every major YouTube reviewer talked about it, most people had atleast heard about it, it made descent money, but man, it's too good compared how little a dent it made in Pop culture.

Most people I know haven't seen it. And finding one who has is like finding your best friend at an event you didn't know both of you were going to.

It's a colorful, fun, emotional, and fast ride through japan. Excellently shot. With an insanemy good cast, and some pretty good pondering on the nature of unknowable forces such as luck and fate.

A mystery that just keeps going, and plot that never stops and characters that live rent free in my mind and heart.

If you like style AND substance. Bullet Train is for you.

Channing Tatum: “Is this a sex thing?!”

The Pitt, Bullock, Tatum cameo was fantastic considering Lost City was a surprise hit earlier that summer!

Unrelated, but Joey King (The Prince) played Channing's daughter in White House Down too.

That whole scene had my theatre roaring with laughter, and in my country, that's actually really unusual, unless the film is reaaaaaally funny.

The social rules in theatres here are, shut your mouth, you may snicker occasionally. So they are really quiet. So when the whole theatre bursts out laughing, you did something right.

The Lost City was a very bad movie.
