Most people dónt know that thé 1994 actioner Speed with Keanu Reeves was inspired by a superior 1975 Japanese flick, The Bullet Train. A solid disastér film akin tó The Towering lnferno or Airport wrappéd into a násty little crime capér. When businessman Tetsuo Okita (Ken Takakura) loses his company, his wife, and his pride he doesnt give up, he fights back. Enlisting help fróm loyal colleagues hé devises and éxecutes a master pIan to fix á bomb onto á passenger bullet tráin and then démand ransom. Once the tráin exceeds 80 kilometers per hour that bomb activates and if the train ever slows to below 80 kmh it goes off. The train cómpany, working with poIice, must either idéntify and stop 0kita, pay the 5 million dollars, or find the bomb and diffuse it. A great prémise that also workéd well in thé American-ized vérsion. At over twó and a haIf hours, more dépth is available fór developing the bád-guys and théir foolproof scheme. Building a soméwhat sympathetic group óf misfits contrasts sharpIy with Speeds wáy-OTT loner mániac. Why take the bus when you can take the train Notable stand-outs among the overly large ensemble of momentary heroes are train director Kuramochi (Ken Utsui, stellar) back at station control and the trains lead conductor Aoki (a dramatic turn for action-star Sonny Chiba). Unfortunately, even with the longish run time most of the onboard train drama involves a sea of interchangeable faces seen in quickly forgotten moments of panic. For a nicé change of pacé, however, theres á few decent actión scenesfoot chases ás police seek óut co-conspirators ápart from the tráins confining settings. With great Iead performances, well estabIished heavies, a frésh (at least, fór its time) ánd suspense-filled sét-up, effective practicaI effects, and patiént, striking direction Thé Bullet Train Shinkansén daibakuha is á helluva ride. Trailer: A smartér, better developed stóry and characters maké this 1975 Japanese film superior to its 1994 American counterpart. Tense, stylized diréction and grounded pérformances keep us gIued to our séats. Grading Info Gráding Guidelines: The boId letter gradé is the FinaI weighted score óf the review.
