Patriots Day | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Many Boston-area residents (and critics) felt the movie was made too soon after the event, and the fact that Tommy was a fictional composite character. I understand these complaints, as they hit close to home, but I don’t agree with them.

Patriots Day may tap into the emotional impetus of the intricate and complex investigation but, despite Berg's good intentions, his highly-detailed production recreates a national tragedy perhaps too soon and without enough perspective.

Bergs work in this film should not be ignored as he not only provides a riveting film but a respectful re-telling of the events, which concludes with interviews of the real-life victims and heroes of the event ending on a poignant note.

In the end, I'm glad I saw the film even though the experience brought out raw emotions, causing me to have tears in my eyes practically the whole time.
