Something that is never activated lies dormant

I seriously thought I was having a nightmare; I was watching a Clint Eastwood movie and it was all shite. He decided to make a film of the incident that happened on a train from Amsterdam to Paris in 2015 and use the real people who were on that train as actors and my mind screams why? And it's not just that the acting is shit and nonexistent, the actual core of the story is hidden somewhere as a sidenote, the movie is stuffed with irrevelant and mundane drivel, executed by these horrible non-actors. Mesmerising.
