The 15:17 to Paris

The film is based on a true story about an incident on Aug. 21, 2016 where three Americans — Anthony Sadler, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and US Air Force Airman First Class Spencer Stone (who play themselves in the film) — prevented a man carrying an AK-58 pistol from wounding and killing passengers on a train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris. Directed by Clint Eastwood, it also stars Judy Greer, Jenna Fischer, and Thomas Lennon. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a measly 25% rating. Variety’s Owen Gleiberman writes, “The film keeps telling us that what took place aboard that train was the fulfillment of something, but neither the event nor the three people reenacting it seem entirely real. They seem like pieces of reality trapped in a movie.” MTRCB Rating: PG
