From our review:

fight in bullet train It’s short and full of character, with blows and Jackie Chan-esque prop work instead of (or in conjunction with) quips. The staging (the centerpiece of the movie trailer) is one of the best. bullet train It must be delivered with the precision of John Wick-style choreography employed in comedy services.
