The first hour or so of this movie teased some interesting character conflicts, but these conflicts devolved into nothing more than people punching each other. I was so bored by the endless action scenes that I stopped watching about 20-30 minutes before the end.

Weapons
A friend of mine said that Weapons feels like a classic Stephen King story, and that’s definitely the best way to describe it. A bunch of children mysteriously disappear in a small town, and a few concerned citizens try to figure out what happened. The mystery is a lot of fun, and its conclusion is very satisfying. I also enjoyed how the narrative perspective is split between various people in the town. That’s always a fun trick, and this movie does it well.

Bullet Train
This movie completely passed me by in the Covid haze of 2022, but it’s so good. It’s stylish, it’s funny, and the action scenes are creative and expertly paced. What I especially appreciate about Bullet Train is that all the characters are himbos. This is a fun movie about attractive dumb men on a train, and toward the end there are DILFs with beautiful hair and swords. What more could you ask for honestly.
