Review of Patriots Day (2016) by Jireh A — 20 Mar 2017

For the first time in forever, I was left speechless and engulfed in emotions after watching a documentary. Patriots Day is unlike any docudrama I've ever seen and is undoubtedly the most captivating and exciting that my nerves were shot almost entirely from the start.

The acting, the cinematography, and the pace all fuse together brilliantly to create this impressive tribute. Asides from the incredibly gripping and entertaining action sequences, I loved that to realistically convey the essence of this tragedy, filmmakers combine real-life footage from the harrowing scene and an outstanding replication with exquisite performances and that's not been done before in such an amazing way.

I had a great time watching this film and really connected to the story every second of the way.
