Les estaría mintiendo si esta película no es de las que más había querido ver en los últimos meses y las razones de esto son básicamente dos: el gran casting que tiene este film, porque si, el lineup de actores que participan acá es muy bueno, más adelante veremos un poco el hecho de que los personajes lo son todo en esta historia y la segunda razón es el director que está detrás, David Leitch. conocido por haber dirigido John Wick, Deadpool y una de las tantas de Rápido y Furioso. Uniendo este par de elementos no es muy complicado pensar que el resultado iba a ser sorprendentemente bueno, de calidad y uno que es muy disfrutable de principio a fin.
I would be lying to you if this movie is not one of the ones I have wanted to see the most in recent months and the reasons for this are basically two: the great casting that this film has, because yes, the lineup of actors that participate here is very good, later we will see a little of the fact that the characters are everything in this story and the second reason is the director who is behind it, David Leitch, known for having directed John Wick, Deadpool and one of the many Fast and Furious. Putting this pair of elements together it is not too complicated to think that the result was going to be surprisingly good, quality and one that is very enjoyable from start to finish.
También diré que había un poco de duda y escepticismo en mi al momento de comenzar a verla porque sentía que habían las mismas posibilidades de que fuera algo totalmente insufrible, afortunadamente no fue así y resultó ser un film que dada su naturaleza de violencia extrema, de sangre en abundancia, de escenas de acción muy bien logradas, de unos personajes realmente entrañables, de una historia que llama mucho la atención y de ese toque de comedia que da frescura y risas se terminó convirtiendo en una de las películas que más me han gustado del año, siento que lo tiene todo. Pero bueno, hablemos un poco de que va esta historia de venganza ambientada en el antiguo y actual Japón.
I will also say that there was a bit of doubt and skepticism in me when I started watching it because I felt that there were the same chances that it would be something totally insufferable, fortunately it was not and it turned out to be a film that given its nature of extreme violence, blood in abundance, very well done action scenes, some really endearing characters, a story that draws much attention and that touch of comedy that gives freshness and laughter ended up becoming one of the films that I liked the most of the year, I feel it has it all. But well, let's talk a little about this story of revenge set in ancient and modern Japan.
Para conocer más de esta trama tenemos que trasladarnos al Shinkansen, el tren bala más rápido de Japón y del mundo. En el está Ladybug (Brad Pitt) quien es un asesino a sueldo que está contratado para hacer una última misión después de haber tenido fracaso tras fracaso. La cosa es que él no es el unico asesino dentro de aquel tren, hay una variedad bastante peculiar de ellos los cuales todos igualmente tienen diferentes misiones pero que sin saberlo están relacionadas entre si. Esto inevitablemente ocasionará que los conflictos entre todos vayan en aumento lo que terminará en una batalla campal.
To know more of this plot we have to move to the Shinkansen, the fastest bullet train in Japan and the world. On it is Ladybug (Brad Pitt) who is a hired assassin who is hired to do one last mission after having had failure after failure. The thing is, he's not the only assassin on that train, there are a rather peculiar assortment of them who all have different missions but are unknowingly related to each other. This will inevitably cause the conflicts between them all to escalate and end in a pitched battle.
Al principio puede que cueste un poco unir los hilos y cabos porque todo parece estar desordenado pero a medida que va pasando la trama vamos a ir viendo como todas esas piezas se van ordenando hasta el punto de que todo comienza a cobrar sentido y la historia se va haciendo más y más interesante. Para que me entiendan un poco mejor, dentro de la trama principal hay como 3 o 4 historias más que parece que no tienen nada que ver pero la realidad es que si, todas tienen un punto en común y eso es lo que se descubre a bordo del tren. A partir de acá veremos como la acción, la comedia a través de sus diálogos con semejanzas y parecidos a los de Tarantino y una violencia absurda y desenfrenada al estilo de Deadpool, como ya les comenté, toman el protagonismo durante un poco más de dos horas para hacer que no le podamos quitar la vista a la pantalla.
At first it may be a little difficult to join the threads and ends because everything seems to be disordered but as the plot goes on we will see how all these pieces are ordered to the point that everything begins to make sense and the story becomes more and more interesting. So that you understand me a little better, within the main plot there are about 3 or 4 other stories that seem to have nothing to do but the reality is that yes, they all have a common point and that is what is discovered aboard the train. From here we will see how the action, the comedy through his dialogues with similarities and resemblances to those of Tarantino and an absurd and unbridled violence in the style of Deadpool, as I said, take center stage for a little more than two hours to make us can not take our eyes off the screen.
Estamos ante una trama que nos obliga a estar atentos porque son varios ángulos los que se van desarrollando constantemente por lo que la atención nunca la pierdes y eso es algo que agradezco porque hace que sea muy dinámica. Hay algo en esta película que sucede mucho y que va de la mano con lo que acabo de comentar y es que hay una gran cantidad de plot twist a lo largo del film que terminan siendo una locura, son esas cosas que dabas por sentado y de la nada la historia te desmonta todo para volver a comenzar. Ocurren siempre y eso es algo que si sabe usar y tiene un sentido le da un plus muy grande a la trama; creo que es de las cosas que más disfruté, los cambios de dirección en la historia, son muy sorpresivos y son los que hacen, según yo, que la historia completa sea tan buena y te termine gustando tanto la película.
We are facing a plot that forces us to be attentive because there are several angles that are constantly developing so you never lose attention and that is something I appreciate because it makes it very dynamic. There is something in this film that happens a lot and that goes hand in hand with what I just mentioned and that is that there are a lot of plot twists throughout the film that end up being crazy, they are those things that you took for granted and out of nowhere the story dismantles everything to start all over again. They happen all the time and that's something that if you know how to use and have a sense gives a big plus to the plot; I think it's one of the things I enjoyed the most, the changes of direction in the story, they are very surprising and are what make, according to me, that the whole story is so good and you end up liking the movie so much.
La acción y sus escenas también están en otro nivel, se nota mucho la mano del director y es que las hay de todo tipo. Las típicas cuerpo a cuerpo en donde vemos a un Brad Pitt en la plenitud de sus condiciones, están las absurdas en donde se ayudan de elementos que hay alrededor para llevar a cabo una pelea sin sentido pero que es increíblemente atractiva y adictiva de ver y están las que en ellas se utilizan las armas convencionales como pistolas o catanas. Todo esto con la particularidad de que la sangre, los daños visibles y notorios al cuerpo y las acrobacias y habilidades siempre están presentes. Por momentos puede ser muy cruda y real pero automáticamente lo deja de ser para caer en lo gracioso y cómico, puede que se lea raro pero visto créanme que no lo es.
The action and its scenes are also on another level, the director's hand is very noticeable and there are all kinds of them. The typical melee scenes where we see Brad Pitt at the peak of his powers, the absurd ones where he uses elements that are around to carry out a senseless fight but that is incredibly attractive and addictive to watch, and the ones where conventional weapons such as guns or catanas are used. All this with the particularity that blood, visible and noticeable damage to the body and acrobatics and skills are always present. At times it can be very raw and real but automatically it stops being so to fall into the funny and comical, it may read weird but seen believe me it is not.
Y por último tenemos a los personajes pero haciendo un hincapié en lo que también comentábamos antes, el factor comedia. En la película es muy notoria las referencias hacia Quentin Tarantino, creo que es porque el director se asemeja un poco en el estilo, pero si y eso lo vemos por ejemplo en los diálogos. Son unos en donde el ingenio y la personalidad de cada personaje se ponen en evidencia haciéndonos reír genuinamente con comentarios llenos de ironía y hasta sarcasmo diría yo, conversaciones que tienen un camino y terminan en otro totalmente caótico y disparatado. Es algo que por lo menos yo terminé disfrutando bastante porque soy fanático de este tipo de cine, que dentro del "desastre" haya un orden. Y todo esto es gracias a los personajes que supieron imprimir esa característica.
And finally we have the characters but emphasizing what we also mentioned before, the comedy factor. In the film is very noticeable references to Quentin Tarantino, I think it's because the director is a little similar in style, but yes and we see that for example in the dialogues. They are ones where the wit and personality of each character are put in evidence making us laugh genuinely with comments full of irony and even sarcasm I would say, conversations that have a path and end in another totally chaotic and crazy. It is something that at least I ended up enjoying quite a lot because I am a fan of this type of cinema, that within the "disaster" there is order. And all this is thanks to the characters who knew how to imprint that characteristic.
El elenco esta conformado además de Pitt, por Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Andrew Koji (me faltó ver más de él, este actor es de los mejores que hay en artes marciales), Michael Shannon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Karen Fukuhara (The Boys), Bad Bunny y hasta Sandra Bullock, entre otros que verán en la película. Para mi es un gran casting, muy variado y en donde cada uno le imprimió su toque al personaje, esto hace que sea de los mejores aspectos de Bullet Train. Por que lo digo? - pues porque al final creo que pueden conectar con todos porque cada uno tiene una historia que a pesar de las circunstancias los hacen entrañables, los personajes son el alma de esta película, sin ninguna duda.
The cast is made up of Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Andrew Koji (I missed seeing more of him, this actor is one of the best in martial arts), Michael Shannon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Karen Fukuhara (The Boys), Bad Bunny and even Sandra Bullock, among others you will see in the film. For me it's a great casting, very varied and where each one gave his touch to the character, this makes it one of the best aspects of Bullet Train. Why do I say that? - Because in the end I think they can connect with everyone because each one has a story that despite the circumstances make them endearing, the characters are the soul of this film, without any doubt.
Pero si hay que resaltar a algunos creo que estos dos se llevan el premio. Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Tangarine) y Brian Tyree Henry (Lemon), dos hermanos que están unidos dentro de este mundo de asesinatos per que tienen un lazo muy fuerte y arraigado. Son cómicos, son violentos, son buenos en lo que hacen y aportan un toque familiar/sentimental a la trama que a veces hace falta. Y bueno Brad Pitt que sabemos que es un todoterreno para este tipo de películas. Él tiene un don para estos films porque es genuinamente gracioso pero también tiene la habilidad de entregar buenas y notables escenas de acción.
But if we have to highlight a few, I think these two take the prize. Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Tangarine) and Brian Tyree Henry (Lemon), two brothers who are close within this world of murder but have a very strong, deep-rooted bond. They are funny, they are violent, they are good at what they do and they bring a familiar/sentimental touch to the plot that is sometimes needed. And well Brad Pitt who we know is an all-rounder for these types of films. He has a knack for these films because he is genuinely funny but also has the ability to deliver good and remarkable action scenes.
En fin, una muy buena película que me sorprendió para bien, muy disfrutable porque cuenta con una variedad de elementos que la hacen apta para toda clase de publico. Le doy un 8/10 porque nunca me cansé de ella, buenas cinematografías, una estupenda banda sonora, grandes escenas de acción y violencia desmedida y una buena historia con sus giros bien elaborados. Recomendada ampliamente, dura un poco más de dos horas. Les dejo el tráiler para que echen un vistazo.
Anyway, a very good movie that surprised me for good, very enjoyable because it has a variety of elements that make it suitable for all kinds of audiences. I give it an 8/10 because I never got tired of it, good cinematography, a great soundtrack, great action scenes and excessive violence and a good story with its well-crafted twists. Highly recommended, it lasts a little over two hours. Here is the trailer for you to take a look.

I have also been waiting for this movie for a while. The cast is great and it seems like it was produced by good hands. I heard it was out and everyone I know that has seen it has said that it was a good watch. I haven't seen it yet though because I'm not sure if it is worth all the hype. You know how it gets when there's a lot of expectations for a film and it flops. Still, I will definitely see the movie. From your review, it's as good as they say so I'll take your word for it😉.
I honestly think it's worth watching. I was a little hesitant too but in the end it turned out to be a very good movie. I highly recommend it. The hype is because the amount of known actors is great and because of its director who is one of the top Hollywood directors.
