"Bullet Train Explosion is a legacy sequel that honors the spirit of the original without being bound by it, opting for a more accessible, modern approach.

The suspense scenes are effective, the cast delivers solid performances, and there's a remarkable - if not fully successful - attempt to tackle relevant social themes amid the intense action. Nevertheless, the lack of stronger character development, the tendency to over-explain, and a somewhat inconsequential narrative prevent the movie from achieving the emotional impact it aspires to.

It entertains, and at times provokes reflection, but it could - and perhaps should - have gone further."
