Long gone are the reasons to care

 

Long Gone Heroes (2024)

Written & directed by John Swab this film stars Frank Grillo, Josh Hutcherson, Eden Brolin, Andy Garcia and Melissa Leo. A veteran puts together a team to go rescue his niece from Venezuela.

Straight to dvd is written all over this film. While there is a plot it is just something to hang a few limp action scenes on. Not worth seeking out at all.

Irish Mail – L.& N.W. Railway – Taking up Water at Full Speed (1898)

Directed by William K. L. Dickson this is an early short film. A train speeds along the track.

Pretty impressively done shot of running parallel with a speeding train. Good image quality and a fair amount of action. Nicely done for the period.
