Just finished watching Bullet Train, a movie recommended to me by husband as "a very [me] friendly film", and yes, they were exactly right!

Plot: Our protagonist, a former professional killer who is trying to work out some things, takes an easy pick up job, to recover a case from a train. However, several stands of fate are entwined with the case so wacky highjinks ensue.

However, that description really doesn't do justice to the complex, tightly written, and complete story that follows. It's an action movie, in that there are plenty of action scenes, but it's well paced with breathing space in the right places that didn't turn into stalls.

The effects were mostly subtle enough that I didn't see them, the direction and camerawork was just brilliant, framing shots cleanly and dropping in enough hints and pointers to let me keep up without overwhelming me or getting in the way.

I've got a couple of quibbles about some of the exterior train shots, when a 200kmh train turns a corner sharp enough to see, but I'm prepared to forgive those as they weren't relevant to the plot (and could just be edited out, probably (I'm not an expert)).

It's reset the standard for a good movie, replacing R.E.D as "best action movie I can remember watching".

Highly recommended.
