The 15:17 to Paris (2018)

this is definitely not an action or suspense movie, it’s barely a ‘movie’ at all. It’s more like a memory really, like you had been with them adjacently the whole time. Which makes it unique because instead of having actors play these people, he chose to use the real people involved. Getting background into who they are doesn’t seem very important until you see the minor coincidences play out. I think that’s how life is too, so it’s interesting to see a 1 in a million movie where the story unfolds like that of true life. There’s no dramatic music or eloquent script. it’s very forthright. I won’t deny that i was pretty bored through a lot of it but by the end I appreciated the direction eastwood took and the courage it must have taken to only live through this once but to live through it again for film’s sake.
