Bullet Train

Without ebbs or flows to modulate the viewing experience and a never-ending barrage of increasingly ridiculous action (fun at first; exhausting by the end), Bullet Train proves that sometimes “more” is actually too much.

Like the titular mode of transportation, it does pick up speed as it barrels along.

Brad Pitt's comedic chops are what saves an otherwise exhausting Bullet Train. It is Pitt's incredible comedic deliveries and charisma that carry the film. He proves that, even with a poor script, he has the talent to keep the film on track.

With unpredictable intersecting storylines, innovative fight sequences, and a memorable cast of characters, Bullet Train is that rare action flick that doesn't skimp when it comes to delivering in the important areas that are often neglected in the genre.

If Brad Pitt's remaining performances are numbered, I would hate like hell to think of what we missed just so that we could have this.
