god dammit, berg. not bad for a ra-ra jingoist meathead who i once saw wearing Tevas and shorts at the houston ave. Whole Foods on the coldest night of the year waltzing around like directing BATTLESHIP makes you immune to mother nature. i still wrestle with the…

˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗May 7, 2026A solid (chase) thriller based on real events, carrying that familiar “let’s make sure the American flag or patriotic sentiment is waving somewhere in the background as often as possible” energy throughout. And, surprisingly, it is tense throughout. Berg is highly…

In the distant future, once mankind has obliterated itself, a new race from far away may come to study our history and what happened to us. When all of the newspapers have long since biodegraded, luckily, this curious species will be left with the resilient digital discs…
CJ ProbstAug 8, 2020I love everything about what they did with the camera in this film. It’s shot so that the camera is always moving, giving it even more of a feeling of an unsteady, constantly moving world. It makes the film unconsciously more uneasy and uncomfortable to watch, especially…
Ryan DanielJan 28, 2017Man, thank God we have Mark Wahlberg. He's a rough and tough cop with a bad knee who doesn't always play by the rules. He shouldn't have been there that day, but thank God he was, because who knows how many more people would have died without our savior Mark Wahlberg?…

✅86% 2016 list - Click HERE There is something about that Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg combination that worked so well in the 2010s. From Lone Survivor to Deepwater Horizon, their films rocked. While they do typically feature characters that fall into familiar tropes, the…

A true event that tells the story of the innocents who were affected by such a tragic event and the brave men and women who did not rest until the perpetrators paid for what they did. I cannot recommend this movie enough. It’s intense, it’s sad, it’s everything. 10/10

hi dislikedPatriots DayIn 1986, Mark Wahlberg and friends chased and threw rocks at a group of Black children while yelling the N-word. In 1988, he assaulted two Vietnamese men on the same day during an attempted theft, injuring one and striking the other with a stick while yelling racial slurs.

A great and emotional patriotic film about the Boston marathon bombing’s. It dives into every aspect of what took place that was interesting to se from both the police and the bombers sides.
Luke likedPatriots Day8.8/10 it was very good I don’t know why I’m just finding out about the movie now, it followed the events of the Boston marathon bombing well and explained it so it was easy to understand.
Cayden lovedPatriots DayI had no idea more stuff happened than just the bombing of the race. I like the use of real videos/footage and the interview of the real people that some characters were based off of.

Good movie.
EBEllie BarbaraLoved the suspense and #insightful drama. #staystrong #Boston clings together to find the suspect. Very graphic. I found the main character a little egotistic!
SNSamantha NorthartA well done and respectful look at the Boston Marathon Bombing that took place on Patriots Day. Even with it being based on a true story, there was a lot of suspense and parts of the story I didn't know before. Excellent and heartfelt performances all around. It's an…

LTLayla TovThis movie was done very well. Boston Strong. A true movie but I felt a little bit of egotistic cop- here. I am glad they showed how a city came together, followed the rules and caught the bad guy. We need more of this in the world of terrorism.
Metacritic
Jan 13, 2017
The film, which swivels frantically between first responders, survivors, and investigators, has a percussive force, but its best scene, unbearably tense, is a quiet one, when a Chinese app designer (an excellent Jimmy O. Yang) is carjacked by the Tsarnaev brothers.

After dispensing with the sluggish setup of the film’s first act, Berg shifts into high gear, powerfully evoking the feelings of dread and white-knuckle excitement that much of America no doubt felt as the manhunt progressed.

The hurtling action, speaking louder than any dialogue, gives a stirring sense of the suffering and heroism that flowed from the terror at the Boylston Street finish line.
