Bullet Train
Stream
Rent & Buy
Unlucky assassin Ladybug is determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug's latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe—all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives—on the world's fastest train.
What critics thought
DivisiveCritics were sharply split on Bullet Train, with the film landing somewhere between gleeful guilty pleasure and exhausting try-hard excess. Audiences warmed to it considerably more than critics did, suggesting a disconnect between the film's pop-referential style and what reviewers were willing to forgive. The central debates: whether Brad Pitt is charming or miscast, and whether the film's constant winking energy is fun or migraine-inducing.
“the creative and blood-spattered action sequences”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“Bullet Train feels like it comes from the same brain as Snatch, wearing its pop style on its sleeve – a Kill Bill-like mix of martial arts, manga and gabby hitman movie influences, minus the vision or wit that implies.”
Peter Debruge·Variety
“Pitt's funny here, but Bullet Train feels so try-hard in its quirky theatrics that it's a little like watching a kid repeatedly calling for their mother's attention before they cartwheel into a brick wall.”
Clarisse Loughrey·The Independent
“the plot is a tagliatelle of insubstantiality. Just assume that everyone is set to double-cross everyone else. The dialogue, alas, dwells far too much in the pop-culture miasma that may be Quentin Tarantino's most regrettable gift to the culture.”
