These “professional” movie critics wouldn’t know a decent movie if it hit them in the arse! Went to see this movie last night, and, while it was a bit slow at times, the leads did a good job playing what they were, three guys who grew up together and remained friends. Not a classic, but not as bad as this bozo would have you believe.

To contrast this, we went to see “Phantom Thread” a couple weeks ago. The critics LOOOOOOOOVED this movie, said it was Daniel Day-Lewis’ best ever performance, blah, blah, blah. After sitting through 2 1/2 hours of this movie, our assessment was just that: BLAH!

We need more movies like “Sully”, “12 Strong” and “15:18 to Paris” showing real people in places they don’t want or expect to be. And a lot less SJW pablum like the impending “Black Panther” movie looks to be.

We saw this last night and yes...slow for quite a while. But then I realized that it depicting real life and the characteristics that made them who they were that day on the train.

So this is how it is...you’re a fairly normal person with good values just going about your life and suddenly - TERROR. To me the slowness of the beginning really emphasized the importance of their reactions when it mattered most.

True American Heros. Not fake actors - fake script - fake story. I’d watch this anytime compared to all that computerized BS that’s out there now.
