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.… Expand

Honestly, Eastwood will be remembered as a great American filmmaker, but these American military fluffer propaganda movies he keeps making about how star spangled awesome people in the service are, makes me want to vomit.

Respect for casting the actual people involved in the incident, but stretching out a whole film for a payoff that lasts a couple of minutes didn't really work for me.

Has a lot of unnecessary back story but essentially succeeds in conveying the casual heroism of its protagonists.

This movie struggled to find filler content. It was ok but probably was a tad to short for a movie. I gave it a 6 and thats being liberal. If you are waiting to rent it rather than spend 7 to 10 dollars at a theatre..then YOU..are smart!!

A tale of true heroism is unfortunately marred by an hour-long buildup of religio-patriotic hokum. I get that Eastwood wanted to show what led these men to take the action they took, but it feels more like flag-waving hero worship thanA tale of true heroism is unfortunately marred by an hour-long buildup of religio-patriotic hokum. I get that Eastwood wanted to show what led these men to take the action they took, but it feels more like flag-waving hero worship than realistic biopic. Some of the dialogue is hopelessly stilted, especially when the boys are young and talking with each other. Sorry, boys -- and kids in general -- just don't talk like that.
That said, the confrontation in the train is truly dramatic, and Eastwood's direction shines here... except for Stone's thumb. I mean, we get it; his thumb got effed up. WE GET IT, Clint.
The final scene was genuinely moving, and I found myself actually tearing up. The heroism of these men can't be denied, and the speech given by the French official should move anyone with a pulse.… Expand

I understand that this could be considered a tribute, I applaud that but I think Eastwood's biggest mistake was to choose the real ones involved to interpret themselves.

I mean, having done something heroic in real life doesn't mean that it works in a movie. Let's be honest.

This is by far one of the most forgettable movies in Clint Eastwood's filmography, it's incredible that the man who delivered Unforgiven 26 years ago is now reduced to this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only reason this film is scoring a 5 for me is just the basic concept and story behind it. Regular people can do extraordinary things, and in this case, save a lot of lives. But as for the film itself, it really didn't need to be a film. The events on the train seemed like they took place over the course of like 5 minutes. It did not need to be turned into a feature film. The dialogue and acting were equivalent to basically a high school project. I have the utmost respect for what those 3 guys did on that train, but this film was unbearable and cringey in dialogue, and they showed the fact that they have never acted before. Maybe see it if you have a moviepass, otherwise don't waste your money… Expand
