3 US Marines take down gunman firing AK-47 on train in France.

[Mark 1911]

My wife and I saw the movie last weekend. I thought it was pretty good, but not one of Clint's best. It was interesting, but maybe the movie spent a little too much time on the early lives of the three men and their friendship that dated back to grade school, but I certainly would not let that prevent someone from spending the money to go see it. All three were constantly getting into mischief / trouble in school, that's how they became friends. The main theme of the movie seemed to be that divine intervention played a role in thwarting the train attack, and that somehow these three had a life purpose that culminated in the events that unfolded on that train ride. Worth going to see.

Well, they have to fill the movie in.
The event itself would make a short movie.

Don't EVEN get me started on that.

Running a lifeboat in a frozen sea of dead bodies is romantic?

Titanic took approx 2 hours to sink.

That was my thought when I learned they would make a movie about it.
The whole even must have lasted five minutes.

Since they are now French citizens, if they decide to live in France I'm sure they will have free drinks for the rest of their lifes.

Congrats to them, but do they now have to pay French taxes? Merde!

French citizens get free drinks for their whole lives? Is there a waiting list to become a french citizen?
