The 15:17 To Paris - 15:17 巴黎列車
The 15:17 to Paris (15:17 巴黎列車) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler, and Alek Skarlatos. They were also the real life participants who stopped a attack on the Thalys to Paris train attack in 2015. The film was directed by Clint Eastwood.
Spencer and Alek are good friends in middle school, but they seem to get into trouble a lot. When they meet another trouble maker in Anthony Sadler, they become fast friends. But as life would have it, all three go their separate ways, but they continue to keep in touch via social media. Stone joins the Air Force and Skarlatos joins the Army. Sadler is a student. They decide to do a European back packing trip that leads to their fateful exchange.
This was a pretty good movie. I kind of remembered that Eastwood decided to use the real life 3 doods in the film as the lead stars. The acting between the three needs a lot of work. The story dives into the childhoods of the three and why they were connected. It also goes slightly into the reasons why they choose the paths they did.
Alisa Allapach showing up in a bit role as Lisa was also a nice addition to the plotline.
