Netflix Action Thriller 'Bullet Train Explosion' Finds Quick Success on Streaming

Netflix continues to deliver the action thrills, with the streamer’s latest disaster movie rebooting the action thriller that went on to inspire the beloved ‘90s Keanu Reeves outing, Speed. Boasting the perfect no-nonsense title, Bullet Train Explosion is exactly what it sounds like, and drops audiences onto a train that cannot slow down...or it’ll explode.
