Bullet Train
(2022)

Train, Brad, Action
It's like Ladybug doesn't really want to be there, and is determined to make it out alive while causing as little harm to himself or others as humanly possible, and Pitt's take on playing the character seems modeled after the same approach. "Bullet Train" may be going nowhere fast, but Pitt always seems like he's already there, safe in the knowledge that we'll happily watch him smile through all the chaos that crashes around him (including two standout cameos, one which nails an actor's star power, and another which completely misapprehends it). Pitt's stardom has never been more obvious, and it shines bright enough here for everything else to get lost in the glare.

Hellraiser
(2022)

Misfire
Thus Hulu remake is impossible to watch and you can't watch Bruckner's adaptation without comparing it to Barker's. Barker tapped into the darkest locus of human desire and expressed it on screen as shocking carnal violence. Bruckner sands down that perverted, forbidden lust into an accessible blueprint: Setup, kill, exposition, repeat. Clayton carries that blueprint with ghastly poise-she's having a good time even though she isn't letting on-that may, years from now, enjoy endurance in modern horror's canon. But her performance is what we'll remember best from "Hellraiser." The film has so few other sights to show us.
