PHIL ON FILM: BulletTrain is powered by a deadpan Brad Pitt performance. Here's the review from PhilVillarreal
TUCSON, Ariz. — "Bullet Train" is one of the rare action comedies that lives up to the pace and tone of its trailer. The movie surges off the rails, fueled by a boundlessly clever script and pitch-perfect performances.
At the epicenter is Brad Pitt, embracing his best role since he teamed with Tarantino in"Once Upon a Time in America." Effusing cool amid the chaos, he spouts of smarmy asides, twisted aphorisms and deadpan bemusement. Also making stark impressions are Joey King, fresh off"The Princess," as a dynamic femme fatale and Bad Bunny as wildcard assassin The Wolf. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree-Henry channel the John Travolta-Samuel L. Jackson"Pulp Fiction" dynamic as codenamed killers Lemon and Tangerine.
