Patriots Day (2016) Rated R

The story and aftermath of the bombings at the Boston Marathon in 2013. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Dicky Eklund Jr., and Michael Marchand.

This film brings to life the facts of what happened on April 15th, 2013. We see the planning, the execution, and the manhunt of these killers. It was a crazy day, but I remember it well. I knew that a friend’s father was running in it, and I was on a vacation babysitting my young nephews for the week. I was glued to the TV as the day unfolded. The film really does a good job bringing the reality of the situation to life as we relive that day. We also see what was happening behind the scenes as the police tried to mobilize to catch these terrorists. It helps that the acting is good. This is a film that’s worth the watch.
