REVIEW: In the spirit of honesty, the makers of Brad Pitt's manic, messy BulletTrain should have just called it 'Kill Brad, Vol. 1.' It's less a pulp-lit adaptation and more of a Tarantino-lite mixtape.
And Pitt can still carry the weight of a movie on those protein-shake shoulders, which is good, becauseneeds a lot of carrying. A candy-colored concoction of carnage with a substantial body count and even higher empty-calorie count, director David Leitch and screenwriter Zak Olkewicz’s attempt to weave the book’s intersecting narratives into a singular piece of pulp fiction has a tendency to jump the rails at regular intervals.
For starters, there are the two men transporting the item. They’re Lemon and Tangerine , a pair of idiosyncratic British hit men whose reputation precedes them. The former adheres to a philosophy based oncomplete with archetype breakdowns and sticker sheets. The latter is just your run-of-the-mill asshole. This bickering duo had been hired to retrieve the kidnapped son of a notorious, feared Russian gangster known as “White Death.” That coveted case contains his ransom money.
Most of this comes straight from the source material, minus a few gender flips and bonus plot additions, and if you’ve read Isaka’s recently translated page-turner, you’ll recognize enough of the novel’s tone to make it a faithful page-to-screen transition. That’s both a featurea bug: The book itself brims filled with neurotic psychotics and Pop Culture debris, kooky killers with offbeat nicknames and more spilled Type O than a blood bank in a Mack Sennett two-reeler.
