This is definitely watchable, but it does have the feel of a lower budget movie at times. But the fact that it is telling a true story, and that the 3 main actors are the 3 actual men who thwarted the attack in real life, and Clint…

I checked out this movie because Clint Eastwood‘s name was associated with it. Big mistake because he isn’t in it and directing it wasn’t one of his strongest efforts by far. I way this is written telling the story of the man who stepped…

With such a thin story line, even the mighty Clint Eastwood cannot save the movie and make it a decent one. Because it is based on true events, the script writer/director cannot be creative. You can actually skip the first 60 minutes and…

Neat that the characters were played by the real life people who experienced it. Their acting wasn’t too bad and was actually better than some paid unknown actors I’ve seen on TV. However, this was a boring movie and poorly written.…

While this movie is not Clint Eastwood's best, it is the telling of a great story of character, honor and heroism. If you are patient as you watch, your time will be rewarded in the end.

The entire film is backstory, why bother??

I think the wrong disk was in this folder. Starts out with children in an elementary school. Totally boring.

The 2nd sentence of this movie features an ethnic slur. The 2nd scene informs us that concerned and insightful teachers are a BAD thing. Then there is the plug for that overpriced American running shoe manufacturer notorious for its…

I thought it was interesting that the characters were played by the real life people. But overall, I'm disappointed. If you were looking for a short review and that's all you wanted to know, then stop reading. If you are wanting a summary…

Sounds like commenter Nidus has a political axe to grind. Excellent movie from one of the greatest Directors of the last 60 years.

MRI PERF You can always discern a Clint Eastwood production: the fabulous directing, the quiet, subtle music and the adventurous story line. AUD PG.13

this movie is pretty slow, fortunately only 90 minutes long. i was going to give it only 2 stars, but the beat down scene is pretty exciting

I liked this movie and I liked that the real heroes played themselves. It didn't matter if they weren't real actors. The concept was to show and tell how these brave young men risked their lives to save a train full of people in France.

Director Clint Eastwood tried to lend greater authenticity to this film by casting the actual protagonists to portray themselves. Ironically, because the three young men were trying to re-create the events of their vacation and the…

The good: Seeing all the locales in Europe, and Sacramento Ca, makes a cameo too! The heroic fight at the end. The bad: Pretty much the whole movie. Casting the real guys to play themselves was a bad gamble. They're not actors, and it…

The movies details three losers who join the military and happen to have a good day entirely by accident. One guy foolishly attacks a terrorist who is holding an AK47 on him, and he would have been dead had the rifle not…

Fast forwarded through entire sections as I was bored of watching the filler (70% of the movie) felt like they had a great story but needed like an hour more to make a movie so they just added childhood and military training.

I am disappointed in the comments that folks have made about this film. Where are all the accolades that these three young American hero’s deserve? This isn’t a film designed for entertainment purposes. It’s a story that in the end gives…

Let me just quote part of an IMDB comment: 'I don't want to disparage these guys in any way, but this movie was just awful. If this is the kind of thing that Clint is doing is his advanced years, he needs to retire." A few years ago I…

Clint Eastwood did an excellent job and the decsion to use the actual people from the events as the actors is brilliant. It brings a whole new appreciation of what happened and how they reacted to it. Well done!!

OK, the characters in the film are the people in real life. They aren't trained actors, but I thought Clint Eastwood presented the story in a very good light. The characters moved along in such a way that an even ordinary day was…

Caution: This movie contains bad acting and a story that could have been told in a 5 minute short film.

FANTASTIC! I love to watch true stories and this one was extra special considering that most of the actors were played themselves including the ones who were passengers on the train.

I really liked that the three guys who were thee real life heroes played their own parts. I thought for not being real actors they did a great job. True heroes in every sense of the word.
