FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/bullet-train-explosion-film-review-visually-sharp-strong-direction-narratively-safe/ "Bullet Train Explosion is a legacy sequel that honors the spirit of the original without being bound by it, opting for a more accessible, modern approach. The suspense scenes are effective, the cast delivers solid performances, and there's a remarkable - if not fully successful - attempt to tackle relevant social themes amid the intense action. Nevertheless, the lack of stronger character development, the tendency to over-explain, and a somewhat inconsequential narrative prevent the movie from achieving the emotional impact it aspires to. It entertains, and at times provokes reflection, but it could - and perhaps should - have gone further." Rating: B-
