Review of Patriots Day (2016) by Shaun S — 05 Feb 2017
Not a great movie, a little tedious and slow at times.
The main point of the movie appears to be the incompetence of the Boston Police department. Mark Wahlberg's performance is good.
If this is an accurate and honest account of the events of the Boston marathon bombings the US authorities should be embarrassed and it is worth watching for this reason alone. It is a movie about idiots rather than heroes. The FBI work identifying the two bombers is impressive in the early part of the film.
