Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
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.
merelyaninnuendo Patriots DayThe emotions depicted in here communicates easily and effectively with the audience but the feature seems scattered into bits and pieces; that are engaging and nail biting, but in terms of a whole package, it isn't concrete as it appears. Peter Berg's execution skills helps sail it smoothly off to the shore, but the real culprit is the adapted screenplay that could have done better with some strict editing. There isn't a protagonist to follow in, hence it relies a lot upon different supporting cast like Mark Wahlberg, J.K. Simmons, Kevin Bacon, Michelle Monaghan, Rachel Brosnan and John Goodman. Patriot's Day is an open love letter to all those real heroes and works like a charm on terms of factual information and accuracy but as far as drama is concerned, it required some more of it.
SnoopyStyle Various people's lives cross path in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and its following manhunt. It is directed by Peter Berg and starring Boston native Mark Wahlberg.Originally, I feared Mark Wahlberg. He's not the greatest of actors although my bigger fear is that they would make the movie about him. That partly happened. Honestly, I cringed when he started yelling at Kevin Bacon and I rolled my eyes when he showed up to interview the Chinese guy. By placing him in the center of every aspect of the investigation, the movie loses a sense of reality. There is no need for him to be at every aspect of the manhunt. I do love the walk-thru with the security cameras. Otherwise, his role should be cut in half. This shouldn't be a vehicle for Mark.On the other hand, I am overjoyed with the other people's stories. I love the Chinese guy and MIT security guy. This could cut back Wahlberg mugging for the cameras and add work from the other cops. Give me more J.K. Simmons. This movie should not be an one-man story if it purports to show the events in its entirety.
