Bullet Train (2022)

‘Bullet Train’ is a high-octane action comedy that sometimes hits its mark. Brad Pitt stars as an unlucky assassin on a train filled with killers and criminals that emphasizes fighting style over substance.

‘Bullet Train’, which opens in theaters today, looks to add some violent fun to a summer movie season that hasn’t had too many original films on its schedule. Which isn’t to say that the movie is completely original, as Zak Olkewicz’ script adapts Kôtarô Isaka’s novel ‘Maria Beetle’. Yet in the hands of ‘Deadpool 2’, ‘Atomic Blonde’ and ‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw’ director David Leitch, it becomes a stylized blend of hitman action, crossed coincidences and over-explained backstories.
