This shows, at least in my opinion, that cliche doesn’t need to be bad. “Villain comically explains his entire evil plan to the protagonist” is a super cliche trope but if it’s executed as well as this is, it’s fine, because it’s awesome anyway.
I think this works (as any explanation scene) because info is neccesary to characters or to serve a point In this case, he wanted revenge and one that was fulfilling Killing just because it wouldn't satisfy his blood thirst
It is fundamentally impossible to tell a story without the use of tropes. Really, go look up your favourite film and you will see dozens of them in each, in subtler ways than you’d imagine. The only times we ever notice tropes is when they’ve been overused so badly and so unisoiredly that they become predictable that they lose their charm. This was a novel application of the villain monologue trope so it felt completely fine in the context of the film, even without the subversion at the end because it was a fun, thematically fitting moment
Add insult to injury a theory went around that Carver wasnt actually sick. The fucker knew this entire thing was a death trap so he called out and asked for a fill in🤣🤣🤣🤣
I heard about that theory but then I thought- why not both? Carver: [Vomiting in toilet] “ Ugh…” [Gets job info] “ *Skim Mutters* this is sus as hell-“ [Vomits] “ let’s see…” [Reads through fill ins] “ Johnny Wicked, Hanna Bow Nana… Who the hell is Lady Bug?”
@@trevorhegstrom2816hi, I write for a living. It’s called controlled chaos for a reason. They make sure the audience feels like everything’s chaotic when in truth everything was planned from the start. It’s a film, technically everything is planned, so you need to make the audience feel as if it’s random chaos. The fact you can’t get that is pathetic, and your attempt to appear intellegent only reveals your lack of any.
wasn't this like part of the deal between (redacted) and Brad Pitt where they both do quick cameos in each others movies in exchange for a cup of coffee each? Brad Pitt Plays Vanisher and (redacted) plays carver.
@@peurpaelen3261 When I see "R**n R******s" my first thought is they're censoring two horrific curse words, not Ryan Reynolds. They could have titled the video something like "Carver's Identity Revealed" rather than this bizarre format.
I just knew carver had to be Reynolds since the beginning.🤣🤣🤣🤣I swear. "Calling in Sick", "Most cunning assassin, biggest asshole"......Spelled Ryan Reynold's character without error.
Bullet Train is one of the most creative blockbusters I’ve ever watched. Like this movie is basically the more action-packed and blockbuster-esque version of Pulp Fiction.
The bigger and more meta joke is the fact that Bullet Train is the kind of movie Ryan Reynolds would usually do, but he called in sick so Brad Pitt is doing it.
This movies success should really be considered for Lemon a Tangerine prequel…a spin off but with “Carver” as the lead, just so many ideas off this great film alone.
I remember before the movie came out, there was an instagram article about a couple cameos. I left a comment saying "im 100% sure one of the cameos is ryan reynolds in like a 3 second scene where he doesnt say a single word" because thats what Brad Pitt did in David Leitchs movie starring Ryan Reynolds. Shouldve bet money on it.
When I saw the Ryan Reynolds cameo that fact slipped my mind. Who hired him anyway for the assassination? I don't think they mentioned it in the movie.
Man, Walt Thromby REALLY changed after being let go from his job and written out of his father's will. I know that said father told him to live his own life, but I think this is taking things too far to the extreme, lol! This is one of my favorite scenes of this movie, and I don't get why people hate it.
This whole scene wasn't quite when the movie went off the rails, but it's a VERY close second. This was the dumbest, ridiculous, most AWESOME scene and I absolutely love it!
What’s really funny is that some of the Deadpool 2 cast members were in this movie: 1. Ladybug - The Vanisher 2. Carver - Deadpool 3. The Hornet - Domino
bullet train was such a badass movie, it was so refreshing for me to watch it for the first time, i loved every moment when i hadn’t seen a good movie worth watching in a while
This was the most fun Brad Pitt movie in a long time because even Burn After Reading & Once upon a time in hollywood has some hilarious moments but werent overall comedies or action movies, so I really enjoyed Bullet Train
Ryan Reynalds and Brad Pitt have a fun relationship this cameo is because Ryan owed Brad a favor for showing up on Deadpool for basically free. So he showed up for this film for basically free.
gotta say that White Death's accent is on point. I'm Russian, and it's unlike accent in some other movies, so yeah, that's nice. The Russian speech itself was piece of s, but our language is one of the hardest to pronounce, especially for English speakers, so I totally get it
My only gripe about this movie is the fact that the doctor was targeted and killed, but how in the hell would you even know she would have needed the surgeon?? He talks about the attempt on her life and then says 2 days prior he was killed...
Surgeon's death and the Bolivia job wasnt part of an assassination attempt on White Death, just coincidence. White Death just didnt care, took his revenge either way.
I think the logic is, The White Death doesn't care if you were directly trying to kill his wife like Carver, or indirectly linked to her death; like Lemon, Tangerine, his Son and The Hornet. If you COULD be linked to her death in any way, he is going to kill you.
I think the doctor dying was a part of the failed attempt on the White Death’s life. Like, the plan was for Carver to hit the car to make it look like an accident and then if he didn’t die in the car crash, he’d die as a result of not undergoing surgery because the Hornet took out the only doctor that could help him. But as the White Death explained, he was brought elsewhere by fate and his wife instead took his place.
Such an underrated movie. This is such a gem. I legit laughed, the action was great, they hit the style and vibe they were going for perfectly. It's a movie I got many friends to watch and they all loved it.
I personally like the exchange between the old guys here, cause the villain knows he has already moved on from this guy and directly and indirectly cost him enough, and then just wants to finish this task of revenge that didn't involve his daughter and rival family on the train.
Ryan: hey Brad, I want you to come cameo for deadpool 2 for literally one frame Brad: ok Ryan, but you have to come cameo for my movie for five frames as payment
I have a theory what if carver was not sick at all he knew the white death would invite him on the train but he did not show up pretending that he was calling in sick for someone else to take his place
I remember the whole theater laughing when Ryan Reynolds appeared on screen. No one expected the Deadpool himself. But I guess he owed Brad Pitt for his legendary, dramatic and groundbreaking part as Vanisher in Deadpool 2.
I love how the entire plot of the film hinges on the fact that somebody called in sick to work 🤣
Action movies work best when the premise is simple (see: John Wick)
@@shehranazim4784 Respectfully disagree, simple actions work well, but I favor the complex ones (see: Looper, The Dark Knight)
@@jonathanlewis6146the dark knight is more of a crime drama than an action movie. I haven’t seen looper so I can’t say anything about that one.
JW is alright series this and Nobody with added comedy makes them more rewatchable
@@sno1146 Agree. As much as I like JW, its not really a movie you watch more than once
This whole cameo was a return favor on Ryan’s part for Brad cameoing in DP2 as vanisher
To be fair Brad’s cameo in DP2 was like a few frames.
To be fair he did it for a coffee so Ryan Reynolds had to return his favour 😂
The Hornet too was in Deadpool 2 and she might return.
@@juniorsundar so was ryans? id argue brad pitt got more time
They've been friends for decades irl, I don't think neither cares so much and are just showing up for each other because that's what good friends do
"You had your own kid killed?"
"Oh yes. Yes I did, the piece of shit."
My favorite line in the entire movie.🤣
Parent of the year.
"Okay."
Also Ladybug's reaction to the yes
This shows, at least in my opinion, that cliche doesn’t need to be bad. “Villain comically explains his entire evil plan to the protagonist” is a super cliche trope but if it’s executed as well as this is, it’s fine, because it’s awesome anyway.
This movie is all about revelling in cliches and being awesome doing it anyways
He told him the plan after it already happened, not before. Totally different imo
No no. The villain explains the entire evil plan TO THE WRONG PERSON.”
White Death pulled a Skull Face and explained his plan to the wrong Big Boss.
I think this works (as any explanation scene) because info is neccesary to characters or to serve a point
In this case, he wanted revenge and one that was fulfilling
Killing just because it wouldn't satisfy his blood thirst

like the treat that "i cant sniff" floydy got when was barking
Heh “dominoes”
the big reveal was absolutely GLORIOUS.
Watching it all come together was a great surprise. More movies need to be like Bullet train, just chaotic fun.
