Why is Bullet Train Rated R?
Firstly, Bullet Train’s premise revolves around a group of assassins, criminals, and murderers who are all trying to kill each other on a high-speed train – there will be blood.
IMDB reports that Bullet Train has been rated R because of its “strong and bloody violence, persuasive language, and brief sexuality”.
Some of the violent and gory action involves the use of guns, knives, meat hooks, and bottles, with plenty of blood to go around.
The general takeaway from Bullet Train is that it’s mostly very bloody, which is why the UK has also issued a 15 rating.
Early Reviews for Bullet Train are Mid-Level
The general consensus raised by early reviewers is that Bullet Train is a fun ride without reaching its full potential.
One user dubbed Bullet Train as “pure summer movie fun” and applauded Brad Pitt for another charismatic performance.
However, another reviewer commented on the similar humor the movie has to Deadpool, stating it was not a bad movie but it was still lots of fun.
