“Bullet Train Explosion” just landed on Netflix, and it’s the kind of high-speed thriller that immediately pulls you in based on the premise alone.
Set aboard a Shinkansen racing through Japan, it follows a group of passengers trapped in a life-or-death situation when a bomb is discovered on the train, set to explode if the speed drops below a certain threshold.
The premise instantly reminded me of “Speed,” the 1994 action flick with Keanu Reeves, where a bus becomes a ticking time bomb. But while that movie made its mark in Hollywood, “Bullet Train Explosion” offers something a little different.
