Oh I meant to mention it here and I guess I forgot, but I watched 15:17 To Paris a couple weeks ago, which was exactly what I was hoping for and then some. The stunt casting was bad and the poor guys could barely handle the pretty simple material they were handed. The best part is probably the beginning though, which covers how the trio met in middle school. The main character is portrayed as being obsessed with war since a child, dressing in fatigues every day, playing literal war games with his buddies, and getting extremely excited when his teacher brings in old plans from WWII battles. Y'know, totally normal, no-red-flag raising behavior from a 10 year old. In one scene, two of the kids mothers are called in to a teachers meeting, in which the teacher condescendingly mentions how the kids might be having trouble in school because they're coming from single parent households. Pam from the office gets incredibly indignant at the suggestion that she wasn't capable of raising her son on her own. A few minutes later, there's a scene of her son showing off his collection of airsoft guns to the other kid, culminating in the grand jewel of his collection, a real, loaded shotgun. At no point does the movie see any problem with this.
Anyway, the kid grows up and enrolls, as was his lifelong dream, only to miss the chance at the job he wants and washes out altogether, continues to kind of stumble along until deciding he wants to backpack through Europe with his buddies, and eventually winds up on a train with an AK wielding lunatic. The whole thing is so weird. Rarely do you see a movie that's attempting it's subject, yet inadvertently manages to make them look like kind of a lifelong loser.
As enjoyable as the mess was, I do feel kind of bad for the guys acting. It's a very alluring offer, and honestly as rough as Clint Eastwood has been in recent years he should really have known better. You could possibly pull this off if they weren't on screen for the majority of the movie - maybe if they were just playing themselves in the main action scene - but you can't get around that given the story (or lack thereof)at hand.
