In Bullet Train, Brad Pitt stars as Ladybug, an unlucky assassin 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. From the director of Deadpool 2, David Leitch, the end of the line is only the beginning in a wild, non-stop thrill ride through modern-day Japan.

Critics Consensus

Bullet Train's colorful cast and high-speed action are almost enough to keep things going after the story runs out of track.

Audience Says

It could have been a more entertaining ride, but if you're in the mood for a decent thriller to pass the time, Bullet Train will get you where you want to go.

David Leitch offers up an action-comedy that has glimmers of amusement but is too smarmy and convoluted to succeed.

Rated: 2/5

The Reveal (Substack)

It’s not fatal that Leitch and company have no evident goal other than to amuse audiences with two hours of spiffy nonsense, but there’s a whiff of try-hard desperation behind the film’s bravado.

Rated: 2.5/5

Sight & Sound

It’s a shame that the filmmakers didn’t trust the spatial and dramatic tensions provided by the train journey, and opted instead for seen-it-all-before spectacle.

Boston Hassle

There’s no reason the adaptation couldn’t have either cast Japanese actors or completely rid itself of the origin country by putting the train somewhere else entirely. Both options would have been better than what resulted.

Toisto.net

Bullet Train is an exercise in tired, racist tropes and condescending Orientalism as it pushes for the imperialist notion that white people know how to do things better.

Tilt Magazine

Bullet Train’s driving engine quickly loses steam. Its runtime is never justified, especially when it chooses to prioritize odd tangents over cogent and streamlined storytelling.
