Review of Patriots Day

Patriots Day (2016)
Recounting of the 2013 bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line.
25 February 2018
My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay from our public library. The events happened just under 5 years ago and all the news coverage is still pretty fresh in our minds.

What is most interesting are all the people and all the activities behind the scenes that allowed the relatively early identification of the Tsarnaev brothers as prime suspects, and the relatively quick work to track them down and prevent their plans for bombs in the Times Square areas of Manhattan.

Mark Wahlberg has the lead role as Tommy Saunders who we find out in the extras was a composite character, drawn from several officers working the incidents and investigations.

Good movie of a series of despicable events.
