Rosana B

Um filme maravilhosamente perfeito, dói por ser baseado em fatos reais, cheio de emoções e perseguições que até parece ficção, principalmente a cena final, da troca de tiros entre os policiais e os dois terroristas... É tão triste e preocupante ver que nossos jovens e mulheres se submetem a tanta irracionalidade por extremismo, o quão doentio é... As cenas finais, uma grande homenagem e nos emociona muito, os verdadeiros heróis e as vítimas, sobreviventes, resilientes... Boston Strong...

Mark Wahlberg was a wonderful and phenomenal actor in this film. It was definitely something incredible, I truly loved every moment of this film and I watched every bit of it and thought that this was such a fun roller coaster arrived the entire time. It gives you a thrill of confusion and fear in anger all at one time, and it makes you truly want more and more of this film.

"Patriots Day" is a gripping film that effectively captures the intensity and emotions surrounding the tragic events of the Boston Marathon bombing. As a former EMT, watching the portrayal of mass casualties might have evoked a sense of anxiety and sadness, as the film realistically depicts the challenges faced by first responders during such crisis situations. Additionally, I remember listening to police radio transmissions during the arrest of the last terrorist, and seeing that scenecan true show how evevts played out. "Patriots Day" serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience displayed by individuals in the face of adversity.

A taut, multi-stranded account of the Boston marathon bombing.

London Evening Standard

It's not suspenseful so much as commemorative and even, in paying tribute to the resilient spirit of Boston and all of those caught up in this attack, celebratory. It's a kind of civic tribute.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 2/4

The Cinematic Reel

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

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.
