Bullet Train (15, 126 mins) Rating: If ever there was a moment to wish for the abrupt cancellation of a service between Tokyo and Kyoto, it's about ten minutes into Bullet Train
The joke, you see, is in the dissonance.
Although when I say joke, what I mean is burden, one which poor doughty Henry is obliged to carry forwards, well beyond the point at which you wish the Fat Controller would sit on him and put us all out of our misery. In fairness to the writer, Olkewicz, maybe he merely lifted the running Thomas gag from the novel by Kotaro Isaka on which this idiotic and disagreeably violent comedy-action thriller is based. Either way, someone at Sony Pictures must have thought there was material here worthy of a proper heavyweight cast, led by Brad Pitt, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson in support, and Michael Shannon, Channing Tatum, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in cameos. Pitt plays a hitman codenamed Ladybug.
His extended 'joke' is that he's not temperamentally a killer, being rather a sensitive cove. He wears a bucket hat to put even more distance between him and the standard movie representation of an assassin, although of course he's as brutal as the script needs him to be. Feeding jaunty instructions into Ladybug's earpiece is his own controller — a rather skinny one it transpires, played by a mostly unseen Bullock. She wants him to board the bullet train to Kyoto and snatch a mysterious briefcase. This assignment brings him into conflict with another pair of mercenaries played by Henry and Johnson, West Ham-supporting cockneys codenamed Lemon and Tangerine.
Ryan Gosling will give Bond a run for his money in the most... Our Eternal Summer Rating: The Native American actress Amber Midthunder dominates the story as Naru, a bold young hunter desperate to prove her worth to the doubting men of the tribe
As it turns out, casual sexism is the least of Naru's problems.
She can throw a tomahawk with unerring accuracy but there are snarling mountain lions to contend with, kinoogo.biz and hostile French fur trappers, and of course, most challenging of all, a translucent killer alien. Director Dan Trachtenberg does a decent job building up to an exciting finale, and headdresses off to his skilled cinematographer, Jeff Cutter, who worked with Trachtenberg on the latter's terrific debut feature, 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane. Another debut feature, Our Eternal Summer (72 mins) is a French film in which a bunch of carefree adolescents, doing all the things virile French teenagers do in the movies, abruptly have their innocence snatched from them when one of their number drowns off a Mediterranean beach after an ill-advised late-night swim. At barely an hour and a quarter long, Emilie Aussel's admirably concise film deals mainly with the grief, guilt and recriminations that follow this tragedy. It's a coming-of-age story, really, which sensibly keeps grown-ups out of the picture and is very nicely acted by a group of first-timers. Prey is available on Disney+.
