Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Bullet Train (out Aug 4) is set on the famous train from Tokyo to Kyoto. On board is the son of a famous crime lord, a locked briefcase containing $10 million, and a bunch of experienced assassins with missions to complete. The colourful train, hip soundtrack and famous actors provide a “gloss” that mask its flaws and unoriginality. A friend summed it up best – “if this was on Netflix and starred a bunch of nobodies, it would be terrible.” Grade: C+.
