What kind of watch this is
David Leitch directs a 126-minute action comedy thriller where a bumbling assassin shares a speeding train with lethal rivals. The tone is fast, loud, and oddly charming. Brad Pitt plays Ladybug, a man who just wants a quiet life but keeps getting dragged into high-stakes chaos. The hook is simple: everyone on board wants something different, and none of them know it. It feels less like a thriller and more like a very expensive, very violent group project. If you like your action movies to talk back, this is the one.
What the critics said
Critics were divided, leaning slightly toward disappointment. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 53% as of May 2026. Metacritic lands at 49/100 as of July 2025, labeling the reception mixed or average. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "wildly entertaining," praising the writing. Peter Debruge of Variety was less kind, noting the film lacks the "vision or wit" its influences suggest. The consensus suggests the cast and action carry the day even when the plot derails. Audiences seemed happier, though that is rarely a surprise when the critics aren't.
How it did with audiences
$90 million in. $239 million out. That is the arithmetic of a film that spent its opening weekend topping the box office, debuting to $30 million against a projection of $26–30 million. It held first place for two weekends before slipping to third. TMDB users rate it 7.4 out of 10. The numbers suggest the audience did the math, and the film paid them back.
