How you feel about “Dream A Little Dream Of Me” will likely depend on how you feel about what’s been done to the occultist formerly known as John Constantine. No, we’re not talking about the gender flip or name change – here to Johanna, played by Jenna Coleman – but …

Agatha Christie has been outpaced. Ninety years after she perfected the murder-on-a-train trope, David Leitch’s Bullet Train shovels a load of Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, and manga into the engine to take the railway whodunnit right up to 200mph.
