Bullet Train Movie Free 24: Watch Brad Pitt as a Killer on a Train



Bullet Train is based on the novel Maria Beetle by Japanese author Kotaro Isaka. Published in 2010, the novel is the satirical story of 5 highly trained assassins who have been assigned the same target on a bullet train traveling from Tokyo to Morioka in Iwate Prefecture.

The Japan Rail Pass can be used on all shinkansen trains except Nozomi and Mizuho trains and covers all the fees involved. Seat reservations can be made for free at ticket machines and ticket offices. Pass holders will receive a seat reservation ticket that indicates the reserved seat. They need no tickets besides their rail pass when using non-reserved seats. Numerous regional passes also cover some shinkansen trains.


Smoking is not allowed on most shinkansen trains. Prominent exception are the Tokaido Shinkansen and some trains along the Sanyo Shinkansen on which smoking is allowed in small smoking rooms that are well ventilated to keep the trains free of smoke. On all other shinkansen lines, smoking is not possible.


Given that the basic premise of the upcoming action thriller Bullet Train puts a group of assassins on one train whose missions all connect somehow, you might not expect the first look at the movie to be so... relaxed. Yet here we are, with a hugely ironic sneak teaser, released under the guise of a promo video for Nippon Speed Line, which you can find below.


Of course, the presence of one William Bradley Pitt (who stars in the movie) as calm voice-over person is the first big clue that this has something to do with punch-up/bullet-fest specialist David Leitch's latest. And, er, the whole bullet train thing. Yes, you probably got it from that. Pitt's bruised and battered face near the end of the video also nods towards the madness to come.


The crime-centric thriller revolves around a train dispatcher who becomes the center of the story soon enough. Throughout it, he attempts to change the mind of the New York subway hijacker. The stakes are considerably high in this movie, just like in the latest Brad Pitt star.


Expect one of the greatest experiences when watching a movie from South Korea starring actors that stay up to the mark and writers that make the best come true. Predominantly a zombie movie, Train to Busan also packs some resemblance to Bullet Train with the train sequences and confinement to small secluded spaces.


The story progresses around a train on which a man who previously was a cop but now is an insurance salesman commutes to work daily. On one particular day, he is met with a mysterious woman who makes him take on a deadly operation while on board. The Commuter shares a great similarity with the Bullet Train in creating a full-fledged setting and plot around the given circumstances. It is a movie you need to check out once.


Pitt is our eyes and ears here: a onetime assassin, code name Ladybug, who is transitioning from all-killer-all-the-time to a gentler, more thoughtful sort of operative, the kind who finds a use for phrases like "the toxicity of anger." We meet him wandering around Tokyo's late-night yakitori district with a look of amiable bewilderment on his face and a cheap bucket hat tugged down on his head. He's just received a new assignment from his faraway controller, Maria (Sandra Bullock), who lives in his earpiece. The job: Get onboard the next Shinkansen, or bullet train, to Kyoto, find and secure a certain briefcase, and get back off. Sounds simple.


Nobody can be having more fun in all of this than Brad Pitt, who exudes both an easy warmth and deep chill in equal measures. At age 58, he is the Elder Dude of interesting movies, his twinkly charm undimmed and still irresistible. It's too bad the movie has little else on its mind than virtuoso action scenes. They're great and all, but as Pitt's character says at one point, "I just wanna get off this train and go see a Zen garden or some shit."


The female bullet train drivers have expressed their joy at getting the chance to operate a train for the first time in the Middle East. They acknowledged that carrying pilgrims and guests motivates them to operate with great care.


By end of April, Beijing Railway Bureau will have installed free WiFi on over 100 trains, and currently, Jinan Railway Bureau is testing free WiFi on 75 trains. But the bullet trains are not included.
