MOVIE REVIEW: Brad Pitt bumbles entertainingly through the hyper-violent slapstick comedy of BulletTrain.
is a really, really dumb movie. Like, every gunshot echoes around its gloriously vacant skull. Because there's also a particular kind of smart-dumb film that is endlessly, idiotically fun, and that's what. It's got two meanings, because it's set on a Shinkansen, the Japanese highspeed railway nicknamed the bullet train, and because there are lots of bullets being fired on the train. See, bullet train.
Not that any bullets are being fired by Ladybug , the dumb-smart protagonist of this dumb-smart film. He's a kind-of-reformed hit man who is quite happy to take nonviolent assignments from his unseen handler, and snatching a suitcase on the route between Tokyo and Kyoto seems like a simple job. Of course, nothing's that simple.
That's a lot of candy-colored characters intersecting along the length of the train, which doesn't give much time for off-vehicle digressions. Fortunately the script, fromwriter Zak Olkewicz, is built for much of its run time on flashbacks, alternate angles, cutaways to the other end of a phone call, everything possible to add extra zip and dialogue to a film that's already pretty peppy due to director David Leitch.
