Review of The 15:17 to Paris (2018) by Julia V — 09 Feb 2018

Just watched this movie and would like to say the critics must have an ulterior motive behind their reviews. I am a reasonably intelligent adult and I disagree completely with the critics. In my view, the real-life heroes didn't need actors to help them subdue the terrorist and they didn't need actors to tell their story for them.

These three young men performed remarkably, especially considering their lack of acting classes or Hollywood connections. Actually, in this situation, I don't need Hollywood's best on the screen; here I'm looking for a more human touch.

In addition, I applaud Clint Eastwood for his bravery in bringing this act of heroism to the forefront, against much opposition from the entertainment industry. And shame on our media critics for their efforts to minimize this story.
