Carlton here. A blockbuster film is in the offing for Japan but I’m not yet sure when it will open here. But it has all the trappings of an international action film that will make Japanese promoters drool: filmed in Japan on a shinkansen and starring Brad Pitt and the shinkansen along with several Japanese actors as well and a bunch of celebrity cameos too. The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) has already annointed it with a 7.5 rating. But, veteran critic Rex Reed who’s always had a winning way with words though maybe not with film critiques, has a rather different take on it, and I add it here for review before you drop your ¥1800 in the ticket machine: https://observer.com/2022/08/bullet-train-might-be-the-worst-movie-ever-made/
