As exciting as a David Leitch film about assassins on a train starring Brad Pitt sounds to me, especially with some of this supporting cast... this being based on a Japanese novel & set in Japan makes that whiteness a little sus. Still intrigued, just with a big asterisk attached.
I've really disliked all 3 of David Leitch's solo films (Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw) as much as I wanted to love them. So I am cautious about this one... but it does sound like it could be awesome based on that cast.
Looks like a damn fine, damn silly action flick. Though, I'm a smidge concerned of the general "otherness" of Japan portrayed here.
David Leitch getting his blank check - very cool that this exists in the current blockbuster landscape
