Factual error: The real bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto only takes about 2 hours, rather than all night like the movie depicts.

Director David Leitch's "Bullet Train" may very well be the most underrated popcorn flick of 2022. It's not an incredible cinematic experience by any means, but it has a charm to it that's quite infectious. And it provides near constant entertainment value thanks to solid performances, slick camerawork and a good balance of absurd action and laugh-out-loud humor. I could definitely see this having a lasting cult appeal in years to come... I know I certainly plan on picking it up on 4K!
For now, I'm giving it a good 4 out of 5. Will update my review and make it longer and more detailed after I've had a chance to see it a second time.
Suggested correction: At the beginning of the movie, at the Tokyo Station, the train arrives at 4:45 am.
Trivia: Minor Spoilers: Director David Leitch previously made "Deadpool 2," which starred Ryan Reynolds, and in which Brad Pitt had a brief, blink-and-you'll-miss-it 2-second cameo. Leitch also directed this film, which stars Brad Pitt, and in which Ryan Reynolds has a brief, blink-and-you'll-miss-it 2-second cameo. (Reynolds appears very briefly in a flashback as the assassin Pitt is subbing for).
