      Zane Victor V It just kinda didn't really have much to tell, the actors are doing a good job but I don't think the screenplay translated good from the book, so it left it very dull and honestly hard to watch… Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Thomas G Some ofJake Gyllenhaal's best. He was very convincing throughout. Good movie. Watch it!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Kyle M This film rounds up the cinematic narrative depicting the Boston marathon bombing to a close as we examine prolific heroism that risen through the aftermath as a symbolically given hero, questioning granted reception that's only nurturing the trauma without much peace. How Jake Gyllenhaal embodies all that weight strengthens one of his best, most solid performances over the thematically ideal struggles in a sympathetic, more considerate direction as a humane reminder under peaceful advocation. (A-) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Hallway_To_Nowhere I had seen my mom watch this movie before when I was younger but I never watched it myself until last night. This movie was so well-done and heartbreaking. Jake Gyllenhaal outdid himself with this movie honestly. 10/10 would recommend and watch again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review Georgan G 3 & 1/4 stars. This movie was not filled with schmaltzy emotion, as I feared. It was realistic in showing the hero go from irresponsible & unproductive to face up to the hard work it will take to overcome the loss of both legs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Abigail M this movie made me really angry at it at times, but i think thats a good thing. jake gyllenhaal never fails, i love him in absolutely every movies he is in.

      David Stratton The Australian It's not an easy film to watch, especially because so many of Jeff's family members are themselves walking disasters. But the performances by Gyllenhaal and Maslany make the ordeal worthwhile. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 21, 2018 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Gyllenhaal has rarely been better. Rated: 4/5 Dec 11, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) With its swelling score and obligatory shots of noble, fluttering US flags, the film buys into the hero narrative wholesale. Rated: 2/5 Dec 10, 2017 Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times For a few nerve-wracking days, the Boston terror attack shook America, yet eventually acted as a spiritual salve that showed the nation’s strength and ability to back a common cause. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 17, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s an incredible true story that deserves to be told and Green allows his characters to do just that. Rated: 4/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Green delivers his most accessible film to date, and nearly every beat of the film works as intended, even if we can occasionally see our heartstrings being pulled. Rated: 3/4 Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
