Bullet Train

Amid the sprays of blood and snarky conversations, here are the moments in the Brad Pitt-starring film "Bullet Train" that upset fans the most.

Others called the character ["wasted/terrible,"](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wgj40w/comment/in5pbin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and [u/apathymonger](https://www.reddit.com/r/blankies/comments/wgiy33/comment/ij103sk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) said, "I was surprised to see after that Zazie Beetz was on the poster, she's a cameo who's in the movie for maybe three minutes?" [u/Lamethrower](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wej0th/comment/iiz2pf0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) posed an excellent question, not just about "Bullet Train," but about modern movies in general: "Can anyone help me figure out the difference between a surprise cameo and a joke without a setup? ](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wgj40w/comment/inwq5um/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) "I am a little sad we [didn't] see andrew koji in a martial arts fight," said [u/geraldho](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wej0th/comment/iixi9ae/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). Whether it's a comment about ["nonsense at the start,"](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wej0th/comment/iit0w9d/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) how the ["beginning dragged a bit,"](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wej0th/comment/iiqefzt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) or how ["the first act is bogged down by a mountain of exposition,"](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueFilm/comments/wk4yj9/comprehensive_review_for_bullet_train_discussion/) it's clear that this train took a little while to build up momentum. [U/monstera-delicious](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wgj40w/comment/ipe3yip/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) similarly alleged that the film was copying Tarantino, as did [u/mark_lenders](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wgj40w/comment/inwq5um/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), who said, "Useless fight scenes, random music to try to look cool, a poor excuse for a story [...] It looked like someone copying Tarantino/Guy Ritchie's copies without understanding what made the originals good." ["Bullet Train"](https://www.looper.com/954190/small-details-you-missed-in-bullet-train/) has to Tarantino's style. Another user, [u/Tedmosbysson](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wej0th/comment/iiq4eek/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), said her part in the film is "Kind of blink and you'll miss it to be honest." [U/popgeist_official](https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/web6wp/comment/iip4506/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) said it seemed like the latest in a long line of "Pulp Fiction" imitators, voicing the same bugbear that a huge amount of viewers have. Perhaps the criminal underuse of Fukuhara is best summed up by [u/daiselol](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wgj40w/comment/imz1rbm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), who commented, "Still waiting for the day Karen Fukuhara gets a role that has lines." [U/gunningIVglory](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wej0th/comment/iity7ij/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) observed in a discussion of the film on Reddit that her role is "very small, quite disappointed they didn't make more use of her. [u/BathtubBobby](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wgj40w/comment/ij0acck/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), thought "It was a little slow to start, but it was just building"; [u/RodJohnsonSays](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/wej0th/comment/iiqqp6g/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) said that "The first 30/45 took a bit of setup, but once the movie started rolling it really found a very funny groove" were forgiving of the delay.
