Reply to comment by TheLittleGinge in Bullet train is a really good film by memer2239

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.
