Bullet Train is a new action film directed by David Leitch and produced by 87North, the company responsible for films such as Nobody, Atomic Blonde and John Wick. These guys are masters in cutting-edge spectacles, and are ready to do that inside the Japanese bullet train. The movie is full of twists and turns, but also a very good dose of humor, because it catches us in the odd world of international assassins.
The film’s most impressive element is its cast. Bullet Train manages to join an immense cast of stars, led by the always gracious Brad Pitt, who shows a more goofy side to his performance this time around. Along with Pitt, we can find actors such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree-Henry, Joey King, Andrew Koji, Logan Lerman and even the singer Bad Bunny. They are all here and they all play a wonderful set of very funny characters.

What’s the briefcase in the bullet train?
The film starts by showing the father in the hospital who is looking after his young boy. The kid apparently was thrown out of a building and is now in critical condition. Kimura, the father, receives a job note telling him he’s going to find the suspect behind the accident. Kimura is on her way. He follows the train as its title is derived.
The film also introduces us to the character of Ladybug, played by Brad Pitt. Ladybug is an assassin. The job has been off for a long time. After he got back, he decided to do some a little more work, but to do one that is less difficult. Like an emergency check-up. Maria, his handler, gets the job, filling up for the murderer called Carver. Ladybug stops for the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto. Ladybugs wanted to get a briefcase for you before leaving the train. This job is good and easy.
However, in the train, there seems to be more than one party interested in that same briefcase. We’re introduced to Lemon and Tangerine, a couple of brothers that both work as assassins. They’re there to take the briefcase with a young man to his father. The father of the obscene is Russians yakuza boss who named a White Death. The children find the boy and leave the backpack with their luggage. As soon as the White Death comes to a report, the White Death finds the briefcase taken.
Of course, Ladybug took the briefcase. Meanwhile, Kimura meets a young woman named The Prince. She is, besides her murder, the person who threw Kimura’s son from the roof. She’s being treated in the hospital with an assassin, ready to kill Kimuras son if he doesn’t obey. They have the teddy bear and open it, revealing a large amount of money inside. The prince puts a bomb in the briefcase and closes it. She is planning on killing The White Death with the bomb when he opens the stash.
The murderer tells her he killed her wife, in this case Ladybug is attacked. Ladybug knows nothing about her. She kills the assassin. The twins, on the other hand, discover that White Deaths son was killed in poison. The Prince led them to look for Ladybug and they fight, believing that Ladybug killed the son. To be fair, Ladybug suspects that there is another assassin on the train, the name Hornet, known for killing with poison.
Why Are all the masked in the bullet train?
Ladybug and the twins gather together to find the briefcase. They know that if they don’t get it at Kyoto station the White Death will kill all of them. As soon as you look for the briefcase, Lemon crashes into the Prince and the Prince. Lemon shoots Kimura. The Prince attempts to get Lemon to think she’s a kidnapping victim. Lemon knows that there is something off, but he was recently drugged and fell down, but he did not stop the drink of Ladybug. The prince shoots him and escapes.
Ladybug can fight and kill The Hornet. The Prince catches up with Tangerine and tries to save her victims in the routine. But Tangerine realizes she’s lying. Ladybug appears and falls into traps. He end up protecting her from Tangerine and kills her. The prince escapes with the silver and silver in a briefcase. Kimuras father arrived and revealed that he may have vengeance against White Death. He realizes that the Prince is responsible for his grandson’s affairs. She escaped from the scene, but it is revealed that Kimura and Lemon are dead.
When they reach Kyoto, white death appears. He was revealed to be The Princes and he is also a longtime rival of Kimuras. Ladybug gives the briefcase to White Death, and White Death explains all the assassins were called to the job because they all participated in his wife’s death. Ladybug doesn’t know anything about it but attempts to explain it. The bomb explodes when the shell is opened. Lemon, Kimura, his father and Ladybug escape from the train with White Death and their minions in pursuit.
The train finally crashes and White Death is ready to kill Ladybug. It is revealed that White Death thinks Ladybug is Carver. He doesn’t know Ladybug is filling in. You kill Ladybug, but you get shot by The Prince, who then gets run down by Lemon while driving a fruit truck (shown in the post-credit scene). Kimura and his father survive, and Ladybug gets in to rescue him. The firemen came upon the scene of the accident.
