And this has what to do with my comment? I believe there were several aspects of filmmaking within Bullet Train that are reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's filmography. As said, some were made use of better than others.

Or do you disagree with my assertion? If so, whose style would you say was being paid homage?

You're not wrong, a lot of Ritchie elements plus anime vibes I'd say. Also probably drawing a lot from John Woo and Ringo Lam and other East Asian action directors.

But also I think it really had its own voice and was unique and knew exactly what it was trying to be; a cute and fun action film about luck and fate.

I loved it, but I don't think having Sandra Bullock show up at the very end (or having a single shot cameo of Ryan Reynolds as the alternate assassin) really added anything to it. She had a great v.o. performance as the handler though.
