    The twins absolutely STOLE this movie. I loved all of the characters, but man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is incredible and it's impossible not to love Brian Tyree Henry. And obviously Brad Pitt... Whole cast killed it. Loved seeing Bad Bunny as well, his bad guy face was hilarious.

      Not gonna lie, (Spoiler) Channing Tatum, more like Cameo Tatum now, took the words out of my mouth when Aaron Taylor-Johnson was walking “man, he’s got a great walk”

    The irony is Quentin Tarantino solidify his style by watching a lots of movies. Doing homage to others director is a big part of his filmmaking, yet now everytime critics see someone do something remotely resemble his style, they automaticly decide that's a bad thing. If you ask me, I believe Tarantino would absolutely be delighted if someone do homage to him.

      The need a hero cover fight scene brought a tear to my eye. I watched the second half with CCs on and the creative decision to not even have CCs for the cover meant they trusted the audience to know it immediately from tone and pace alone. That to me is am executive creative decision that most directors won't ever try and make. They took chances in this movie and they all paid off. This was easily a 10/10. Anyone overly critical of this doesn't understand the purpose of the movie existing anyway. This is what escapism should look like. Being able to escape in it with others even when it's not on. The cameos are world tier. I wasn't ready for sex stuff, carver, hunter or the conductor lol I wasn't even read for the white devil, which is hilarious play on the Japanese euro culture lmao and the name frequently given to colonizers. It is just a great film.

    Caught Bullet Train yesterday, and loved it! It's witty, high-octane, top-notch entertainment. All the characters have their distinct roles, nothing is wasted, and Brad Pitt SLAYS! Some great blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameos, especially Channing Tatum, who had me in stitches! 'Is this a Sex Thing?' 'He has SUCH a great walk...' This was an absolute wealth of hilarious and original dialogue, so refreshing right now when a lot of 'blockbusters' are delivering very poor scripts.

    To me, this film is what "Bad Times at the El Royale" should have been. I was surprised at how invested I was in the story and the mystery behind why these characters were all converging to the same place. "El Royale" had some solid characters, but lacked that sense of mystery or investment in the story surrounding said characters.
    This was a very enjoyable film. Definitely worth seeing again.
    EDIT: To clarify, my comparison of these two films centers around their narratives and the tension (or lack thereof) surrounding the mystery of the films' singular location. Tonally, I realize that they're meant to be quite different, which is fine.

    • @starwarskid01
      @starwarskid01 Před rokem +1

      @@BulletSponge178 No, I don't think it was. But El Royale pitched itself (at least from the marketing) as a mystery thriller of sorts, with the El Royale serving as the source of the mystery. But as the film goes on, there's no real mystery, no sense of tension behind why all these characters have converged on this one location. My comparison of the two films is more about the mystery (or lack thereof) in the narrative, and less about tone.

    I like the way the movie unfolded and how the mystery of the final boss loomed over the entirety of the film. There were so many mysteries and storylines unfolding at once the possibility of one of those spinning plates falling and destroying everything just adds to the suspense. The movie ties every end together nicely and the pacing is excellent. There were many moments when I felt myself leaning forward in my seat. Also the gore and the fight choreography was amazing. My only gripe is how the movie ends the final crash seamed to far fetch for me to suspend disbelief. I’m so glad I went to see this in theaters.

  • @FreeSpeechArtandWrestling

    I also want to say that I watched full metal jacket and when you look at full metal jacket and clockwork Orange, they feel like part one and part two, so they’re examples of stories that don’t feel linear. I do think that a lot of people feel like pulp fiction was very successful in the nonlinear storytelling, possibly the best film that’s ever been nonlinear. But you’re definitely right that it is a style of storytelling, but you can’t just say it’s a Tarantino knock off whenever you do it. It would just be like saying that every single time somebody makes a colorful science-fiction movie with a lot of great special facts, it’s a Stanley Kubrick 2001 rip off

    Awesome review as always Chris and ON POINT. Watched this last night (was gutted that I wasn't able to catch the theatre run which happened just as I went on holidays) and agree 100%. Was a bit slow as it introduced the various streams but damn nothing about Bullet Train feels like Tarantino and it wasn't just THE BRAD PITT show either. Twins were comedy GOLD. It's hysterically funny and overall a really really really great flick. Looks like it was a fun experience for the actors as well. Keep at it!

  • @happyninja42
    @happyninja42 Před rokem +2

    The movies I was thinking of when watching this, was a cross between Smokin' Aces and Kill Bill. It had the kind of flavor/tone of the over the top revenge story of Kill Bill to me, especially all the focus on Japanese cultural elements. But then the absolutely insanely colorful characters from Smokin' Aces. Also the fact that they were all assassins on a job, in an isolated location. It did feel like Guy Ritchie, mostly from the quick banter of the writing. Not making that comparison as a criticism though, I fucking loved the film. It was super fun, had me emotional at a few scenes with the Twins, all the characters were really damn good and engaging while they were on screen. It's a movie that knows what it wants to be, and has a LOT of fun being that thing.
