Another upcoming Clint Eastwood directed film with a twist...it stars the guys that actually pulled this off in real life! For that reason alone I'm interested (that and the fact I've enjoyed Eastwoods recent movies...Sully, American Sniper, Gran Torino).
This is going to sound dickish of me... but not immediately putting together what the story is about, quickly googling (I didn't actually watch the trailer... he makes good movies, I'm sure the trailer will be quality... but should I care about the plot)... ... is this something that should be a movie?
Was hoping this was a western. I just watched The Ballad of Lefty Brown last night and all of Godless a week or two back. I need more!
Anyway, pretty crazy how prolific Eastwood is at his age. Basically a new movie every year or every other year at most. The whole process from beginning to end has to be pretty short and spontaneous. "You say we can't get a real baby today? Oh well, just hold this doll and we'll move on."
Appreciate what these guys did, but even from the trailer, I could tell the acting isn’t going to be that great.
I didn't watch Sully for a long time because it looked so boring. But then I watched it and it was pretty good. He does a good job with these subjects.
I’m so happy those guys got paid for this movie and the free vacation they got but this.... This was a horrible movie! Lmao. Like Razzie Award tripe movie. Like someone take Clint to the doctor bad. Like The room bad!
Awful awful movie. For 3 friends, they have 0 chemistry between them. There's 20-30 min of them just complementing each other on their meals and taking selfies. You are an hour and 30 minutes into the movie and they still haven't boarded the train. The event should have taken 15 minutes max and they made into a movie. The biggest mistake is probably casting the actual guys from the real life event in the movie
Have to say, I appreciate that Eastwood wanted to tell a story of real-life heroes, but the trailer alone shows you that it would be difficult stretching the story into a full-length feature film. And that "natural, real-life" actors = wooden cue-card readers. I wasn't a huge fan of "Sully". It suffered from the same syndrome: basically forty minutes essential and fifty minutes padding and opening/end credits. How many times can you show the same plane crash (well, "ditch into the Hudson")? And heightening the tension by making the aviation board a bunch of out-to-get-him corporate drone types (except, well, there was no tension).
I wonder what is next for Eastwood? Is he going to tell the heroic story how of a meteor killed all those evil dinosaurs next?
