Target audience must be the youngsters, my son is 13 and has watched it several times already as well.

There’s no way the target audience was 13 year olds with how many f bombs and gory scenes it has lol very good movie but that’s not the target audience haha

You think thirteen year olds aren’t used to hearing fuck and seeing violence? They probably say fuck more than the average person and see more violence in movies and games too. It’s fine for the vast majority

Maybe they are. That doesn’t make it ok. The target audience is not 13 when the movie is rated R. People get sliced open, one guy gets shot in the throat and bleed’s out with a gurgle, a man’s head is blown off, and they say “fuck” more than most other movies I’ve seen today. Idk why the original commenter thought the target audience being youngsters was a valid statement.

When I finally watched the movie with my son I was shocked his grandmother had taken him to see the movie. She didn't know anything about it. There are a lot of curse words and gore and he told me he hears the same at school, we just don't talk that way at home.

Geez, I made the comment in jest, but teenage boys love movies like Bullet Train. It’s nothing new. When I was 13 my friends and I loved Predator, Aliens, Full Metal Jacket, etc. Now teenagers love John Wick, play Call of Duty, etc. They will turn out OK still.

13 isn’t even young, in four years they’ll be getting ready to pay rent. They’ve already seen all that on daytime tv, nobody gives two fucks about curse words anymore because they don’t matter and are the same as every other word, get over yourself lol.
