An absolute cinematic disaster.

When a train unexpectedly starts up, taking only pets with it, the animals discover that Hans, a badger with a grudge is behind it all. While the crash seems inevitable, the animals can count on Falcon, a roguish Raccoon who will do anything to save them.

The science in Pets on a Train has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Pets on a Train should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

If Pets on a Train was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

The cinematography in Pets on a Train is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Director clearly thought Pets on a Train was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Pets on a Train is the most overrated film of the decade

Everyone praising the Pets on a Train performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Pets on a Train's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Look, I wanted to love Pets on a Train. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
