Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

paulclaassen The bombing was a very serious matter and thankfully the film does that justice. The film is very realistic, incorporating the real surveillance images, as well. This is a very accurate retelling of what happened on that day, and the man hunt that ensued. (Apart from Mark Wahlberg's character being fictional, I believe). Wahlberg is excellent in his role, though, as is the rest of the cast. The intensity and suspense increases with every moment, and the viewer is filled with more and more hatred towards the bombers as the film unfolds, and can't wait for them to get what they deserve.The real-life footage at the end of the film featuring the actual people involved was awesome and also very emotional.

anselmdaniel This review contains spoilers.Patriot's Day stars Mark Wahlberg in an adaptation of the Boston Marathon bombing. The movie follows the fictional police officer Mark Wahlberg portrays as well as the bombers from the start of the Boston Marathon to the ensuing manhunt for the bombers.Patriot's Day is a raw and mostly factual telling of the events of the Boston Marathon bombing. The movie does not hold back in portraying the brutality of the events. The movie does well in grounding itself with the real-life people and showing their interactions with the bombers. The film does a great job portraying the characters from the FBI investigators to the victims of the bombing. It was emotionally strong watching the victims. The actors and actresses have to be praised for their performances. The movie is well-paced even when following multiple perspectives and the movie treats the subject matter delicately.Although some details of the movie are wrong or altered to help the narrative, this does not hurt the movie's message. I highly recommend Patriot's Day. The movie is a respectful adaptation of the story of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Patriot's Day (2017)' is a tad overlong and sometimes unfocused. It's usually engaging, though, and provides a fairly realistic look at a relatively recent terror-attack. It manages to shed some light on the events that occurred whilst also portraying a compelling account of teamwork triumphing over adversity. It does dip a little too deep into that 'Boston patriotism' that seems to come up every-time a film is set in that particular city, though this time it might actually be sort of worth it. Overall, this is compelling stuff. 7/10

korbel-IMDb Mark Wahlberg is totally mis-cast in this film. The man cannot act. An unknown would have done a better job.
