The 15:17 to Paris [Blu-ray] [2018]

Remember the events being in the news so I was interested in watching the movie. I enjoyed the plot and watching this movie!

Based on a true life incident of off duty American soldiers confronting terrorists on a train through Paris, France. Plenty of action and suspense. What made the movie better than most, for me, was the employment of obviously untrained or little trained actors. The movie had a sense of reality and believability not always captured through highly trained actors. It was shot in a semi - documentary style which I think contributed to the movie’s believability. Very entertaining movie.

The story of three friends that grow up together, stay in touch over the years and meet for a vacation in Europe. Just 3 friends who rose to the challenge when it presented itself and saved hundreds of commuters on the 15:17 to Paris. Filmed in actual locations with actual participants of the events Clint Eastwood brings his excellent story telling to this movie.

Very tense re-enactment of the infamous event played well by an unknown cast

I enjoyed the amount of backstory that led to the actual incident. I read reviews where people complained about the lack of action, but let's be real... there was not much action to be had. This was an isolated incident. Not a war. Clint Eastwood did a great job with their backstories, and I enjoyed this immensely!

An action packed film highlighting the American heroes who foiled a terrorist plot in France.

When I read that it was about a true story and that the actual participants would be playing the roles I thought, 'ok, bet this is going to be a dud." I was very wrong the story and the 'actors' were really great, and the director kept the film moving at very enjoyable pace.

This is such a powerful true story about true courage and bravery and it is brilliantly directed by Clint Eastwood. I am so thankful to all the military and first responders out there making the world a safer place for us all
