Review of Patriots Day (2016) by Lou E — 21 Jan 2017

You knew the event and its outcome You saw all the news videos. Why a movie covering the same events? Well the reason you need to see it is to understand how horrific this event actually was. Watching the Watertown police take on these two monsters, while having pipe bombs tossed at them is an amazing display of bravery.

Seeing the personal lives of the half dozen people who lost life and limb and those that helped them turns this news event into a real human drama. As for the two cowards that made the bombs there is little insight into their rationale and motives and that was fine with me.

See it,. one of the best movies the year.
