Be among the first to see a brand new blockbuster

An all-star cast unites for new action blockbuster Bullet Train, which sees Brad Pitt star as Ladybug, an unlucky assassin on a mission to do his job in peace after a few too many gigs gone haywire.  Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug’s latest mission puts him on course to collide with adversaries from around the world on the world’s fastest train, all with connected but conflicting objectives. The film is out across UAE cinemas on Thursday August 4, but for a night with your besties there’s a ladies’ night screening at Roxy Cinemas The Beach in the Platinum Plus suite at 8pm. For Dhs145, you’ll get a fully reclining seat, pillow and blanket, a gourmet menu and waiter service.
