‘Bullet Train’ – A Bugs Bunny Cartoon… With Less Realism

The A-lister richly deserved the statuette for his work in “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” but since then he’s been working overtime to make us howl.

He did just that via a killer cameo in this year’s “The Lost City,” and he’s burning serious calories to do it again in “Bullet Train.”

Yes, it’s an action romp from “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch, but comedy is the main course. How else to explain an adventure that stiff-arms reality before jettisoning any sense of reason in the final, deflating half hour?

Pitt plays Ladybug, a seasoned hit man who thinks he’s landed a cushy gig for a change.
