August is almost upon us and with the first weekend heading our way, Sony is delivering the David Leitch helmed Bullet Train as one of the last salvos of the summer movie season. Granted that this summer was light in terms of action spectacles but at least we had new releases to see at the theaters.
In preparation of the release on August 5th, Sony has issued a new clip which delivers the quietest fight ever between stars Brad Pitt and Bryan Tyree Henry (Godzilla Vs Kong). Paying homage to Jackie Chan, this fight gives fans a taste of the high-octane fight choreography along with the humor involved in the movie. Check out the Hong Kong flair below!
In the action-comedy from director David Leitch which is based on the novel “Maria Beetle” by Kōtarō Isaka, Bullet Train follows Pitt’s Ladybug, Joey King’s Prince, Andrew Koji’s Kimura, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Tangerine, Brian Tyree Henry’s Lemon, and Zazie Beetz’s Hornet, five assassins who venture abroad the titular Japanese locomotive. They’re in pursuit of various targets and as they begin their work, the five assassins come to learn that their assignments are interconnected and they have to figure out a way to survive the trip.

John Wick alum and 87Eleven action maestro David Leitch helms all the blood-soaked madness with a tinge of dark humor. Additional cast members also include Masi Oka, Michael Shannon, Logan Lerman, Hiroyuki Sanada, Karen Fukuhara, Bad Bunny, and Sandra Bullock. The script was penned by Zak Olkewicz based off of the novel “Maria Beetle” by Kōtarō Isaka.
Bullet Train might be the remedy to get the bad taste of The Gray Man (yes I was one of the few that wasn’t impressed with the big budget fumbler) out of my mouth but we shall see. If the humor doesn’t get in the way of the stylized fight action then we might have a late summer winner on our hands.
Keep it locked and loaded for more greatness to come from Bullet Train as we are your fast mover bogey for all things action in 2022 and beyond! Accept no substitute! In the meantime, watch the balls out full trailer one more time below!
