Sandra Bullock plays his handler Maria Beetle, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry play Tangerine and Lemon, two hapless twin assassins.Meanwhile, Andrew Koji’s Yuichi Kimura is hunting down his son’s attacker, who we later learn is The Prince, played by Joey King.The Prince is the estranged daughter of the Yakuza crime lord The White Death (Michael Shannon), and she is attempting to blackmail Yuichi into killing The White Death, for whom Yuichi works.Bullet Train was directed by David Leitch, the former stunt man who has also helmed the current release The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.

Leitch also directed Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2.In a three-star review of the film, NME wrote: “When he’s not trying to be Quentin Tarantino or Guy Ritchie, Leitch proves just how good he is at being himself.”“It’s almost impossible not to enjoy every moment that Pitt is on screen.

Stealing the film with whatever he’s given (a water bottle, a bucket hat, an automatic toilet…), he’s clearly having a great time.
