Bullet Train

Based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Kotaro Isaka, five highly proficient assassins find themselves on a train, finding that their missions all have something in common...

After a lot of soul-searching and anger management, Lady Bug (Brad Pitt - Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood) is returning to his job as a highly trained mercenary, but has renounced killing. As luck would have it, all he has to do for his first mission back is steal a silver briefcase on a bullet train, but Lady Bug has terrible luck... The train is packed full of hired killers, including Tangerine (Aaron-Taylor Johnson - Avengers), Lemon (Brian Tyree Henry - Spiderverse / Eternals) and Prince (Joey King - Kissing Booth), and they're all after the same briefcase! Will any of them make it to their final destination alive?

Pitt delivers one-liners to their usual effect, making this a highly entertaining, non-stop thrill ride through contemporary Japan. Definitely worth a watch!
