Review of The 15:17 to Paris (2018) by Jamesahall — 23 Dec 2021

I give it a 3 strictly because the real-life people portraying themselves in the film did a credible, if very high-school drama production quality, job. The rest of the movie pretty much rates a 0.

The events the movie is based on, while interesting and heroic, are barely enough material to fill up a 30-minute TV show let alone a 90-minute movie. There is about 15 minutes of interesting movie here surrounded by 75 minutes of banal filler. No offense to these young men--they are heroes and did a solid job acting. There just wasn't ever really a movie here.
