Bullet Train hits theaters on Aug. 5, 2022.<\/em><\/p>\n David Leitch’s Bullet Train takes itself as seriously as Crank, Smokin’ Aces, or Shoot ‘Em Up; that’s either a recommendation or warning. The John Wick and Atomic Blonde filmmaker translates his brand of electric-magnetic action with all the outlandishness of prime 2000s action flicks. Compared to Netflix’s The Gray Man, it’s a beacon of hope that American action can be both colorful and chaotic \u2014 Bullet Train is the movie Chris Evans’ The Gray Man performance deserves, quite frankly. It’s far from bulletproof, and the action-comedy elements don’t always land, but there’s still enough zip and humility that lets the good times roll.<\/p>\n Screenwriter Zak Olkewicz adapts K\u00f4tar\u00f4 Isaka’s Japanese novel of the same name with blatant post-Pulp Fiction vibes. Brad Pitt stars as a hitman codenamed “Ladybug” who returns to action for what should be a simple smash-and-snatch objective. This promised ease leads to the film’s humor as Ladybug goes on to face many unforeseen obstacles. Rival assassins punch their tickets, exotic reptiles escape cages, and Ladybug’s convinced his bad luck will never cease as he’s hunted for the package in his grasp. There’s no such thing as a surefire win, which Ladybug learns the hard way as bodies mount and his aversion to firearms becomes a bigger and bigger detriment.<\/p>\n
