I’m working on a theory, all of the best action movies are set on trains. Hear me out.Source Codeis one of my favourite movies in the genre, and it’s set almost entirely on a (simulation) of a train. SimilarlyTrain to Busan,a zombie movie again set pretty much all on rails. The third instalment in the train trilogy is set to hitNetflixnext week.
Bullet Trainis a stylish thriller starring the effortlessly charming Brad Pitt as Ladybug, an assassin on an unfortunate streak of bad luck. On board the train from Tokyo he’s tasked with recovering a briefcase full of cash. Simple right? Sure, if pretty much every other passenger wasn’t also a trained killer.
The rival assassins are a who’s who of Hollywood stars (and so are some of the passengers), including the man who many believe could be the next James Bond. Aaron Taylor Johnson plays one half of an unlikely set of twins, Lemon and Tangerine who in all honesty should get their own movie.
Like all the best action moviesBullet Trainmanages to strike a balance between relentless action and cheeky one-liners, and the confines of its setting only help to make it more intense. Ladybug really can’t catch a break on this particular mission but it’s stylish, slick and oh-so fun for us watching. Critics don’t necessarily agree with me, with the movie only boasting 54% on Rotten Tomatoes, but then critics don’t know how to have fun anyway.
Aside from my train theory, there are plenty of other great action movies on thestreaming serviceworth checking out. One of my favourites is another single-location thriller.Free Firehas a sense of fun and style that reminds me a bit ofBullet Train.
