The 15:17 to Paris Film Review: (may contain spoilers)
Based on real life events that took place in 2015. A significant aspect was that the main actors were all played by the real heroes, Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos and Spencer Stone. The tragic 2 minute incident is padded out to 94 minutes.
Act1: The setup, which sees the heroes' childhood backgrounds and how they meet and develop a friendship, which lasts into adulthood.
Act2: See them taking a holiday in Europe, this takes an enormous 30+ minutes of the film but offers no real purpose, the tour section amounts to a fairly boring holiday. The best Oscar winning actors would struggle to make the holiday section interesting!
Act3: In Amsterdam, they board the train bound for Paris and stumble upon an attempted armed terror attack. Their Extraordinary heroism foils the attack and the potential terrible consequences.
Act4: The Legion of Honour medal awards, which is made from actual footage, but the French president couldn't even be bothered to congratulate the heroes in English!
An inspiring story, made by a legendary actor/ director, showing that the public can be heroic but if his intention was to show that real life can be boring, he certainly succeeded.
5/10
