Movie Summary:

Ladybug (Brad Pitt) is an unlucky assassin determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug's latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe-all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives-on the world's fastest train. The end of the line is just the beginning in this non-stop thrill-ride through modern-day Japan. (IMDB)

The POPGORGE Skinny:

Featuring expertly crafted action scenes that play like ballet in some sequences, this is one hell of a thrill ride that keeps the audience guessing and guffawing throughout its tight 2 hours. The ensemble cast delivers stellar performances all-around. Special mention goes to Channing Tatum whose delightfully memorable cameo recalls the impact that Judi Dench made playing the Queen of England for a wee eight minutes in Shakespeare In Love. Okay, maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but he did good!
