🎬 What Was Bullet Train All About Again?

Set aboard a speeding bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto, the first film followed Ladybug (Brad Pitt) — a reluctant hitman trying to complete a “simple” job, only to discover that the train is packed with killers all connected by fate, vengeance, and one mysterious briefcase.

The stylish mix of martial arts, dark humor, and nonstop action made it a fan-favorite with cult classic vibes — and the ending left the door wide open for more.
