He is almost 60 years old, his personal life is on everyone's lips and he is one of the most desired men on the planet.
But none of that is cinema.
Brad Pitt, the great Hollywood star
, opens on August 5
Bullet Train
, a film that has everything to enchant his fans and also
lovers of action movies
.
And even those who prefer gore.
AN 'EASY JOB'
Ladybug (ladybug) is the code name of the character
brought to life by Brad Pitt
.
A lucky guy, with psychological problems that come from afar and who accepts a very easy assignment for someone like him.
Entering
a bullet train that travels from Tokyo to Kyoto
, stealing a briefcase whose contents we do not know most of the time and running away.
The bad thing is that
in that same means of transport there is a group of professional assassins
, members of the Japanese mafia and many surprises that will appear little by little.
BRAD PITT, THE BIG STAR
Brad Pitt is the absolute protagonist of this film
.
In a record that reminds us at certain times of
Snatch.
From Pigs and Diamonds
(for the violence), to
Ocean's Eleven
(for the great challenge his character faces) and to
Inglourious Basterds
(for his little moments of humor before the tragedy),
Pitt turns this film into a joyous experience for the spectator
who makes the 126 minutes go by quickly.
A very
popcorn
movie with which Brad Pitt returns to the purest action.
HYPERVIOLENT ACTION
To say that
Bullet Train
is violent is an understatement.
Very short
.
There are torn limbs, fights to life or death, knife blows, dangerous animals and gushing blood.
An orgy of blood and violence directed by David Leitch
(
John Wick
and
Deadpool 2
) that is not recommended for minors and that, however,
will delight gore movie lovers
.
To highlight the duels between a Brad Pitt in 'killer mode' and Aaron Taylor-Johnson and a final part in which, broadly speaking, a story full of singular deaths is closed in style.
A LUXURY SECONDARY SCHOOL
In the film
Sandra Bullock
hardly appears.
But she is present at all times.
Her voice
(in the original version and after having replaced Lady Gaga)
is the one that guides the protagonist (Brad Pitt) in her task.
A task that, as you can see, will be full of problems that he must solve as best he can.
Crossing her path will be
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
(
Tenet
),
Brian Tyree Henry
(
Eternals
),
Joey King
(
Fargo
series ) and
Michael Shannon
(
Daggers in the Back
).
And the
singer Bud Bunny
in a small but significant role for his level of hostility towards the character of Brad Pitt.
Not to mention an also surprising cameo.
AN EFFECTIVE STYLE
Halfway between the
comic violence of Guy Ritchie, the gore scenes of Tarantino's cinema and even the debtor mystery of Agatha Christie's novels
(because of what everyone can be guilty of),
Bullet Train
is an artifact that is difficult to define.
A crossroads that takes advantage of the
clash of cultures between the Western and the Japanese
and where manga, Japanese kindness and punctuality are reflected in a proposal that the inhabitants of that Asian country will surely like.
The story is based on the novel
Maria Beetle
, written in 2010 by Ktar Isaka.
