Just a Smattering of Wokeness

Bullet Train was directed by David Leitch, who also helmed Deadpool 2. This movie feels a lot like that one--with a pinch of Kill Bill. It's a hyper-stylized, ultraviolent action-comedy, which I enjoyed watching. Only a small handful of wokeisms sprinkled in cost this movie a 0/5 rating. THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES CONTAIN DIRECT QUOTES FROM THE MOVIE, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY SPOIL ANYTHING. There was this exchange between characters:

LADYBUG: "God hates me."
MARIA: "No, She doesn't."

A character named Lemon (played by Brian Tyree Henry) had these two lines at different points in the film:

"You look like every white homeless man I've ever seen."
"I get captivated by white-girl tears."

Finally, one male character apologizes to a female character who just tried to kill him. He scolds himself mid-sentence, saying "I'm mansplaining, I'm mansplaining again. I'm sorry."

If these transgressions (and an endless amount of cartoonish violence) don't bother you, you should be fine to watch Bullet Train. I found it to be a good time and only a few unnecessary lines away from being "woke free."

Fantastic spectacle / < 1% wokeness

You can watch this movie and let your kids watch it. Only one sentence (said on a joke tone) about God maybe being a female. But the entire movie is pure fun and action.

No wokeness. Many white characters present and Thomas the tank engine references, just how I like it

Maybe a little woke

So there are a lot of 'white people' lines from the main black character as well as a 'mansplaining' line, however everything seems to be done for humorous effect and not preachy so not sure if it's really woke. Sort of Kill Bill meets early Guy Ritchie movie. Acting and story are all good and entertaining. The action does start to get over the top implausible toward the end and the finale VFX are a little sketchy but if you can get past that a pretty enjoyable action comedy.

A wee bit woke, but but only on the assassin's 'feels' front.

Action, fights, and a gaggle of assassins trying to kill each other, in a locked 'room', er 'train. The sole 'woke' aspect - could be considered 'parody' - was the supah woo-woo/neurotic lead assassin, 'Ladybug'. Fun, if silly.

Solid film

Action packed, exciting, doesn’t make you fall asleep. Solid movie. A bit of wokeness mentioned above in other reviews
