Friday’s openings: Dangers on a train

Heroism and lustfulness — which aren't always mutually exclusive themes — will be on tap when Friday's movies debut. The national release schedule for Friday is as follows:

"The 15:17 to Paris": Clint Eastwood re-creates the events that occurred on a French train when a number of passengers, including three American off-duty soldiers, tackled a man intent on killing as many passengers as possible. Eastwood's conceit: He cast his film with the real participants (though not the gumnan, obviously).

"Fifty Shades Freed": The final (one hopes) entry in the film series based on the books by British author E.L James. Bring a cold towel.

"Peter Rabbit": An animated adaptation of Beatrix Potter's tale of a rascally rabbit. Elmer Fudd need not apply.
