Patriots' Day in the USA may sadly be remembered internationally for the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013: In short reference, it is a national holiday in Massachusetts to commemorate the first battles near Boston of the American Revolution -and to celebrate and to uphold liberty: the highlight of the day is the marathon.
The film will follow the events before and after the shocking scenes of horror of the bombings: Initially focusing on a police sergeant -who personalizes the collected and dogged determination of the Boston Police Force: A determination in spirit of duty to share their responsibility to help the victims, and to seek capture of the two assailants. We also see a snapshot of the lives of several of the victims.
Although we are bated in forlorn knowledge, the bombings come as we least expect them to appear on the screen -unprepared by the viewer to witness: From there on, the film never losses its grip on emotional intensity.
The film spreads out strongly in reportage of the narrative and action: I found myself shocked in the emotional challenges to steady my feelings of hate and revulsion towards the assailants of their callous nature of murder; but of great compassion to the victims, with my unflinching admiration of the courage displayed by the police force and the public alike. I question my own sententious nature to say this is a film I recommend to watch, which has provoked me in the morality issue of choosing to watch the film in the first place. But it is an excellent film if I may say so, with shifts of mood, and with a powerful force of justice and humanitarianism: the message is clear to me -that we seek a united front in rightful liberty, and strength in unified love.
Mark Wahlberg is outstanding in portrayal of the police sergeant, as are his co-stars, which include, Kevin Bacon, and J. K. Simmons....the manhunt and capture of the two brother assailants is satisfyingly heady to the point of blood thirsty revenge...
