Box Office: A suspiciously subdued marketing campaign and poor reviews ensured that Clint Eastwood's $30 million drama only attracted the filmmaker's hardcore lot, scoring barely $40 million to date, making it his lowest-grossing directorial effort since 2002's Blood Work.

Verdict: Though there's probably a worthy story to be told here, Eastwood sadly can't get to the core of it, giving the tale of the 2015 Thalys train attack an agonisingly trite, formulaic treatment.

Blatantly padded out at even just 94 minutes in length, the most baffling decision was to cast the actual trio of American men who prevented the attack as themselves, and let's just say they're not natural actors.

Sure to be remembered merely as a bizarre relic in Eastwood's filmography, only Eastwood die-hards need bother.
