In Italian cinemas from February 8, 15:17 Attack on train It is the latest work of the famous film director and actor Clint Eastwood.
Based on a true story, the film tells the story of three American boys - also present here as interpreters in the role of self - who saved the lives of more than 500 people during a terrorist attack on a train to Paris took place on 21 August 2015.
This highly anticipated work of Eastwood tells us, in particular, three stories of three troubled children from infancy, that, however, soon proved real heroes. Interesting, about that, the idea of wanting to tell how certain characters almost relegated to the margins of society may prove to be among the most worthy examples of courage and love for their country. And it's, as a tradition of eastwoodiana filmography wants, their love for their nation, also combined with a deep religious (to notice, about that, the constant presence of crucifixes and sacred images in the scenes in the interior) the leitmotif of the work of Eastwood, as well as real backbone of all its cinematography.
What, But, a feature film as 15:17 Attack on train their unconvincing is the fact that Eastwood himself, apparently it struggles to get to the point and in advancing the story, It has implemented directorial choices and screenplay in which we see a series of elements hairpieces, placed within the script only to fill a problematic empty, that they are dropped never to be recovered. This is the case, eg, the characters encountered during the already problematic scenes of boys trip. Not to mention that the trip itself looks more like a "promotional video" for some tourist agency; a moment quite superfluous that has done nothing but to lose points to the film itself and could be cut by more than half an hour.
Nothing to say from the point directorial, this is clear. What Eastwood knows his regarding the management of the cinema, It is something we've got to determine some time. But one thing is certain: the glorious times Mystic River - but also the very recent Sully - seem, today, light years away. Sin.
