It’s not unusual for me to disagree with professional critics, but I was almost apoplectic to read the scathing reviews given to The 15:17 To Paris. The chief complaint seems to be the hour we sit through just to get to the action. So here’s my take on that; I liked being shown the lives they lead, leading up to the tragic event that made them heroes. And the tour we were taken on in Europe with the friends was sweet. I’ve been to most of the places they visited and didn’t mind going there again.
Remember the excellent performances Eastwood pulled out of first time actors Bee Vang and Ahney Her from the Hmog community in Grand Torino? So, it comes as no surprise that he did it again in this movie. Our heroes performed much better than the pros.
The movie moves along at a nice clip, and other than a few protracted conversations, I wasn’t bored.

Thanks Clint, for another job well done.
Grade: B+
About The Peetimes: This is a dialog-driven movie with fairly short bursts of action, making my job easy. I’ve given you 2 good Peetimes. Each gives you 4 minutes to break, so let your bladder decide.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The 15:17 to Paris. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
