Everything the director has ever done David Leitch‘John Wick (Another Day to Kill)’, ‘Atomic’, ‘Deadpool 2’ and ‘Fast and the Furious: Hobbs and Shaw’ – his latest work seems concentrated in ‘The Fast Train’. -the hand-fights of the first and third, the somewhat vulgar humor of the second, and the magnificent nature of the fourth. Based on KotaroIsaka’s best-selling novel, the film is also To Guy Ritchie’s craziest cinema and Quentin Tarantino’s, a Japanese bullet train, filtered by a displaced sense of humor and exaggeration, and the good use of a single space, where various mercenaries and professional assassins collide without knowing that they are all seeking the same thing.
Brad Pitt always laughs at himself as an ‘action hero’, and your character who luckily touched it. The same can be said of anyone who created this gallery of assassins as fast as they were clumsy at heart. Some have a job to do, money to protect a briefcase: They’re a racial couple who sometimes reminds me of another black and white killer. ‘Pulp Fiction’. Others, like the howling Mexican played by rapper Bad Bunny, seek revenge. has members Yakuza, of course, and a teenage girl in a pleated skirt that doesn’t look the way she represents. It’s a musical montage as crazy as the visual, with so many memories and expectations, leaps in time, reflections, crashed wagons and Bee Gees effortlessly coexisting with the friendly folk of the classic ‘500 mile’.
