Bullet Train

A lot of this is told in flashback - a chaotic, non-liner timeline like a little kid trying to tell a joke. Assassinations and heists gone wrong which lead-up to this point – a motley crew of quick-witted killers occupying an empty train and fighting over a shiny McGuffin. As a killer trying to rebrand himself as a non-killer, Brad Pitt is always best when he plays a doofus, and he delivers expertly as he brawls with the witty, witty, witty hostiles. Sometimes you wish they would shut up and get to the killin’. At times the physical comedy is hilarious, but it takes a while to get to that. It’s not suspenseful, so it behaves more as an escalating comedy; shallow but fun.
