Bullet Train comes roaring into UK cinemas very soon, on 3 August.

David Leitch’s newest directoral project will hit the UK two days before the US, where it will come out on 5 August.

What is the age rating for Bullet Train?

Bullet Train has an age rating of 15 in the UK, thanks to violent scenes (including, apparently, more than one decapitation) and a single sex scene.

Oh, there’s also terrible language throughout – with IMDB suggesting the ‘F’ word is used a total of 78 times throughout.

Bullet Train stars Fight Club legend Brad Pitt as the lead actor, however there are plenty more talented actors helping to carry the film.

Brad, 58, stars alongside Joey King, 22, Aaron Taylor Johnson, 32, Brian Tyree Henry, 40, and Sandra Bullock, 58.

Joey is an up-and-coming actress who previously starred in family movie Ramona and Beezus, while Aaron first rose to prominence in coming-of-age film Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging.

Brian, meanwhile, is a regular on TV, having appeared in Boardwalk Empire, How to Get Away with Murder, This Is Us and Atlanta.

Sandra most recently appeared alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Channing Tatum in adventure movie The Lost City.

What is Bullet Train about?

Bullet Train loos set to be an absolute rollercoaster of action, comedy, and quite a bit of gore.

A synopsis for the film reads: ‘Five assassins find themselves on a fast-moving bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops in between.’

To make things a little bit awkward, the five assassins come to learn that each other’s missions are ‘not unrelated to each other’ – and we can guess what that means.
