Sam Heughan, aka Tom Buckingham created a compelling character in this movie.
It's quite an intense story with lots of action, political intrigue and some romance going on as another plot line.
I was very skeptical at the beginning and warmed up as the story moved forward.
To me, it's about this character Tom who is very good at his job as Special Forces for the UK. He's never been good at long term relationships because of his commitment and dedication to doing his job.
His G/F Sophie is a nurse who has strong feelings about his violent nature and questions how he can block out his violent side and be a loving companion.
They are on their way by train to Paris where Tom plans to propose. On the way the Black Swan group take all the passengers hostage as the train enters the Chunnel underneath the ocean.
All this changes when Sophie is taken hostage and is first hand witness to the vile and evil of Ruby Rose, aka Grace Lewis.
She is witness first hand to the ruthless and heartless violence of the Black Swan group under the leadership of Grace as they try to extort money from the UK Government to release all the hostages on the train.
She sees Grace exact ruthless violence on women and children and suddenly realizes the necessity & importance of people like Tom to 'Drop Them'.
There is a fair amount of suspense as the story unfolds and the audience is left guessing on how Tom will overcome all manner of obstacles agains seemingly insurmountable odds.
In the end, Tom prevails, he saves Sophie, he saves the hostages and he survives an intense battle with Grace.
A very interesting scene as some times has passed after the incident when Tom & Sophie are all healed up and while still in Paris Tom proposed to Sophie who is less than enthusiastic at his proposal. She admits that she doesn't believe she can make him happy and we are left to believe she turns him down.
Tom is crushed, with tears streaming, he nearly collapses/ Sophie suddenly recognizes that Tom has a heart for her as he reveals a side she's not seen in him.
The ending is a nice twist as we are left to wonder what happens to Declan who has turned traitor against his Special Forces unit and his friend Tom.
Just as they are about to kiss in the wedding ceremony, Tom gets a call from his boss who tells him that Declan & the hostage money have been located.
Sophie tells Tom, I guess we'll need to take a rain check on the honey moon and he better go get Declan and Drop Him.
