"Bullet Train" is an action-comedy that takes a talented cast and capable director and turns it into an obnoxious mess that earns every trainwreck pun it gets.

With "The Gray Man," the Russo brothers trade the MCU for the world of espionage. It's a big, sprawling but ultimately empty actioner salvaged by a game cast.

"Firestarter," the latest adaptation of Stephen King's 1980 novel, has an eerie soundtrack and some effective atmosphere, but the spark just is not there.
