I saw the trailer for "The Man on the Train", starring Larry and Donald Sutherland, and I thought there would be some discussion of his acting on Interference. Maybe I missed that thread??? Old news??? In another forum?
Did I miss the thread about Larry's film?

There was some chatter around it when people first heard about it, and when it was at the film festival, but honestly, I haven't seen a lot of discussion about the movie itself from anyone who'd seen it, neither in this U2-centric part of the forum, or the more general movie threads in the other part of the forum. I was kind of surprised myself, but I don't think it got anything other than a very small theatrical release, or pay to see/stream it via On Demand or other online forums.
I watched it last month via On Demand and have to say, I was not impressed. I thought it had some good reviews (both the movie and Larry's performance) after the Toronto Film Festival, so I had pretty good expectations for it.

That movie was terrible!
Donald Sutherland was great though.

I just finished watching the movie, I must say I really liked it. 
Stories about regrets over life choices intrigues me (Death in Venice is another good one). I loved the scenes where the professor and the thief pretended they belonged in the other's form of living.

Is this the one where Larry has a pornstache and plays a robber or something...?

Goatee. He plays a robber but those who expect a heist movie will be disappointed, the robbery is not the focal point.
The only part that slowed the film a bit down for me was when a lady friend of the professor (Donald Sutherland) visits. I have always hated love interests, those type of characters always comes off as either dull or weird to me.
Like that girl, Stella, in "Entropy". She seems like hardly a character to me, more like some boring object that the protagonist couldn't afford to loose.
Donald Sutherland is a joy to watch and Larry comes off as natural, no wooden delivered lines or stumbling in words. Better than many so called professional actors. Of course this being his first proper role I can't say so much about his range, the robber is quite a calm and not very talkative character, the opposite of Sutherland's quirky professor.

Did anyone who watched it on On demand also catch the trailer that was on On Demand? I watched it, and it wasn't so much a trailer as just a random scene from the movie.
Except the scene was nowhere in the movie, and it included a character who didn't apparently even make the final cut.
Preview fail.
