Bullet Train Down

I watched bullet train down on amazon prime today I found the film very crap with cheap sci-fi channel graphics and it had no story to the film and the scenes were awful with film focus on a high speed train and it had z list actors in the movie and the scene I liked were the Afghan army veteran fights with gun man to save the train from crashing that scene well scripted and cheap stunts and it was so boring watching owner of the train jack gets kidnapped by the gunman they were no dialogue from the z list actors and it was a cheap copy of brad Pitt bullet train film from 2022 and it was the worst movie I have ever watched.

Ok I was expecting a bad movie and I was not disappointed. This movie is great for cleaning your house or noise in the background to make doing your taxes interesting. You don't even need to rewind if you miss something while going to check your mail. Honestly it felt like a student film or something the sci-fi channel would have aired in their early days. The budget felt like someone used a credit card to fund this. Way too much gel color on the lighting. Also who gets this excited about a train doing 200 mph it's the 21st century. I do have one other observation. I feel like no one really let Tom know you can see the withdrawal symptoms and sweating. He's so pale. Made me feel sad because this was obviously his last film and though he had issues he was a formidable actor.

When I saw the title of this 2022 movie, I must admit that my thoughts were immediately 'okay, The Asylum is now cashing in on the Bullet Train movie'. Yet, I still opted to give "Bullet Train Down" a chance, on the account of it being a movie that I hadn't seen, nor actually ever heard about prior to sitting down to watch.

And my initial thoughts were true, because this movie was The Asylum cashing in on the Brad Pitt movie "Bullet Train", except they also rip off "Speed". Yeah, the storyline in "Bullet Train Down" is a blantant rip off of the old Keanu Reeves movie "Speed", except this story takes place on a bullet train and not on a bus. So much for originality from writer Alex Heerman, huh?

While The Asylum definitely have a lot of dubious movies to their name, then I will honestly say that "Bullet Train Down" wasn't all that bad. Cheesy and corny, sure, but it was watchable and entertaining enough for the cheese that it was. Not exactly a great movie, mind you.

The acting performances in the movie were somewhat all over the place. Some of the actors and actresses couldn't muster a performance that would fool a blind man, while others were doing all the heavy lifting and carrying the movie almost singlehandedly. Rashod Freelove definitely carried the movie with his performance, alongside with Xander Bailey. Tom Sizemore was the only familiar face for me on the cast list, but his acting in this movie was just laughably bad and wooden.

Visually then "Bullet Train Down" was actually an okay movie, especially taking into consideration some of the numerous older movies that The Asylum have been churning out. Sure, you're not in for a CGI spectacle here, but the CGI effects worked well enough in favor of the movie. However, it should be noted that you will not buy into believing that the movie ever took place inside a train, because the sets were just so horribly amateurish and looked like they cleared out someone's living room and built up what was supposed to be the cabin of a bullet train. It just didn't fool anyone.

"Bullet Train Down" is the type of movie that you will watch once, then shelf it, forget about and never bring it out to see the light of day ever again.

My rating of director Brian Novak's 2022 movie "Bullet Train Down" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Asylums newest movie is a parody of the title with brad pitt, with elements of speed mixed in. Ill say one thing. The quality is actually pretty good, the train interior and some of the camera shots are shot quite nicely. Acting was ok and the cgi stills has elements that made me laugh. The problem I found with this film though really was just the story. I just didn't find it as interesting as the creature ones. But having said that its still and interesting watch with some surprises along the way.

This movie is near comical in terms of its concept, scripting, above all else the acting is pathetically hammy, and the sets are as crass as everything else. Its a case of almost 90 minutes of your life that you'll never get back. The very idea that the US could have a train that ran at more than 150mph is laughable to begin with - even their Amtrak Acela can barely reach 150mph for short periods. The crassness of the storyline and script are only complimented by the crassness of the acting. The lead characters are weak and the very idea that anyone could crawl upon the smooth roof of a train travelling in excess of 200mph is as plausible as the fact that Bambi is a kitten.
