Murder and philosophy on the Orient Express

"Bullet Train" is the Hollywood film adaptation of Japanese crime-mystery-thriller author Kotaro Isaka's 2010 book, "Maria Beetle."

The marketers make it clear that Bullet Train is a product of David Leitch, director of "Deadpool 2," "Hobbs and Shaw" and "Atomic Blonde." He's also been executive producer of two "John Wick" movies. They also like to throw in there that Mr. Leitch has been a stunt man, stunt coordinator, fight choreographer and Brad Pitt's stunt double.
