Patriots Day
Now in his third biopic with director Peter Berg, Mark Wahlberg is not quite the hero of “Patriots Day.” Instead, the audience meets the true heroes of the devastating attack on Boston through his eyes. Part thriller and part documentary-style, Berg’s film tells the tale of the massive manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers. Encountering real-life heroes, from victims to witnesses to police officers, Patriots Day has been heralded for its authenticity – even using the actual CCTV footage used to locate the attackers. A Bostonian through and through, Wahlberg had no trouble powerfully evoking the feelings of horror and defiance in the face of hatred that the world felt at the time.
