re: Patriot's Day

The wife and I liked it. Very entertaining even though you know the outcome.

Some parts I think may have turned out differently had it happened somewhere else, like TX or La. For instance, the scene in Waterbury when their in the shootout. Nobody living on that street came outside to see what was going on. In TX or La I could have easily seen a homeowner set up out of their window or front door and shoot both bombers. MA is pretty liberal though and I bet most of their population aren't gun owners.

Conversely though, here in Dallas, had the governor called for the entire city to shut down so they could catch these guys, I don't think many of the self absorbed Dallasites would have listened. In the movie you see highways and roads 100% empty. Here you'd have some blonde in her Mercedes heading to Niemans and not understanding why the order pertains to her too.
