Bullet Train by Kōtarō Isaka

4.0

---

It doesn’t quite stick the landing, but otherwise this is a fun little thriller. The review blurb on the back compares this to Tarantino, but that isn’t accurate because this doesn’t have the affected quirkiness endemic to Tarantino imitators. It’s more like “Let the Corpses Tan” on a train with a sense of humor that doesn’t translate 100% to American sensibilities. A solid dadcore time.
