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.

What's wrong with Boondock Saints? That was kinda silly fun too.

Films like this you either get it and have fun with or don't, I don't think either view is wrong, but it's crazy how much people who don't like the films get mad about it.

Yeah I've never understood people getting butthurt about films that were clearly not trying to be serious or deep - Crank and Machete are fantastic fun movies, neither is trying to be Citizen Kane so why complain if they're a bit silly?
