Safe to assume not many uk cinema goers have seen this..yet, but i had the pleasure of watching the new film directed by Peter Berg 'Patriots Day' earlier this evening. I say it was a pleasure because what could have been, despite the sunbject matter, a documenttary style affair actually turned into a very effective watch. Thae film, starring such hollywood heavyweights as Mark Wahlberg, John Goodman, J K Simmons and Kevin Bacon, isthe true story telling of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis's actions in the events leading up to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the aftermath. The film also tells of the manhunt following the bombings. As films go, this is expertly handled and played out by its actors and actresses. Perhaps to say this was an enjoyable film is perhaps not the right word to use, but, as movie experiences go, this is an effective piece of cinema. We may know the outcome/s, but despite that, this is definatly worth a look for the ride alone.
