Review of The 15:17 to Paris (2018) by Netflic — 23 Feb 2018
"The 15:17 to Paris" is the newest movie from director Clint Eastwood.
It is a docu-drama describing an event that happened in August 2015 on-board of a train to Paris when a few brave people stopped a terrorist from committing a massacre.
I salute the bravery of the those few who risked their lives to stop the terrorist but the movie is definitely not Clint's best.
I can understand why Eastwood picked that incredible story. It is quite inspiring that a regular person can become a real hero. Three Americans, main characters, play themselves in that movie. To my knowledge no director did it in a feature movie before Eastwood. But I could see why no one did it. You could tell these guys are not actors and that they were "acting" in the movie.
Additionally, there was too much of nothing in the film, especially during the trio's vacation in Europe. Much attention was devoted to development of the main hero, which is fine. But it would be much better to make it a short film, not full feature.
