Review of Patriots Day (2016) by Sakeeneh — 28 Feb 2017
Don't know if this is actually a spoiler but just in case : When a film is 'Based On True Events' and it is almost as a matter of fact entirely and truly based on the true events, it is extremely disappointing and shocking when Tamerlan Tsarnaev's wife is being questioned and said that she is born in Iran (and pausing after the sentence) - when, in fact his American wife - Katherine Russell - was born in Texas, USA. It is exactly because of people like Peter Berg, Paul Tamasy, Dave Wedge, Eric Johnson and whoever else wrote the "story" of this movie that Americans - and Americans only - become hateful and fearful of countries like Iran.
Why would you do that? Why when almost all events in the movie are true, would you change this very important fact that she was American and born in the United States to being born in Iran ?
Shame on you. Shame.
