The 15:17 To Paris

  • Post category:.

A surprisingly drama-free film (except for the last 20 minutes or so), based on the dramatic and true story of an attempted terrorist attack in 2015 aboard a Paris-bound train which was prevented from turning into a bloodbath by three American passengers .  The novelty in this film (directed by Clint Eastwood) is that these heroic Americans have been cast as themselves; unfortunately, this was not a good film decision.  Most of the film focusses on the lives of the Americans, from elementary to high-school, to Army service and beyond, which is probably not going to engage much of the viewing audience.
