Bullet Train is an action-packed romp that takes place on a train filled with deadly assassins. It’s got an all-star cast, with Brad Pitt as the frontman, and it has been delighting audiences this summer. It has just as many laughs as it does thrills, and we loved the ride from start to finish.
Here’s how to watch Bullet Train, including whether it’s available to stream or rent. We’ve also provided some plot details and topped it all off with some trailers. Let’s climb aboard.
Bullet Train (2022): What you need to know
Brad Pitt stars as an assassin, codenamed Ladybug, who seems to be cursed with a streak of bad luck. After a break, he’s returning on his first job and is determined to do so without violence or complications.
In theory, it’s a simple job. Board the train, snatch the briefcase and get off. Of course, things don’t quite go as planned, and Ladybug finds himself trapped on a train full of assassins each with connected and conflicting motives.
The movie has divided critics, with some praising its creativity, comedy and cartoonish violence, while others say that there’s simply too much going on and a lack of substance. We enjoyed it thoroughly and thought it felt like a mashup ofMurder On The Orient ExpressandKill Bill.
