‘Bullet Train’ arrives at Opera House
Trending
The next film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center is the comedic action film "Bullet Train," starring Brad Pitt. It will be screened Saturday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
Ladybug (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.
Thelma Adams, on AARP Movies for Grown-Ups calls the film "a runaway train of entertainment." Alissa Wilkinson, on Vox, calls it "pure escapism at its finest." Barry Hertz, in the Toronto Globe and Mail, says the film's "biggest weapon, of the secretly funny variety, rests in the chiseled form of star Brad Pitt, who once again proves that he is as charming a buffand-tough movie god as he is a wry, self-deprecating comedy star." Rated R for strong and bloody violence, pervasive language, and brief sexuality, "Bullet Train" runs two hours, six minutes.
Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60.
