If you haven't heard the good news, Brad Pitt graced theaters this summer with his presence in a new action movie, Bullet Train. Directed by David Leitch, the film arrived on August 5, starring the also-great Brian Tyree Henry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and musical superstar Bad Bunny. In Bullet Train, Pitt plays an assassin named Ladybug, who has to fight his way through his enemies aboard a Japanese bullet train.

Sounds like a must-watch, right? Well, it depends who you ask. Bullet Train hasn't been the biggest hit with critics, receiving a 54 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a less-than-stellar review from your friends at Esquire. That said, Bullet Train has proved to be an entertaining watch for viewers, receiving a much higher audience score, which currently sits at 77 percent. If you're feeling like you just want to see the movie and judge for yourself, you're in luck.

Because of a partnership between Sony and Netflix, viewers are able eventually watch the studio's films on the streaming service after its time in theaters is up. This happened with Uncharted, which hit Netflix last week after a February theatrical debut. We haven't heard word of similar plans quite yet for Bullet Train, but we do have good news.Sony revealed that Bullet Train will be available to rent on digital platforms on September 27, with 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD viewing options debuting a little later, on October 18.

Unfortunately, this means that you still have a few days until you can watch Mr. Pitt in action.. Maybe simply viewing these Brad Pitt Fits™ will tide you over until then.
