Patriot's Day

Yeah worth a matinee ticket. It's intense when they're fighting it out in Watertown and launching pressure cooker bombs at the police

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.

Worth it

guy did come out of his house to see what was going on. Threw the cop a hammer.

I forgot about that. I was confused about that guy too b/c he called the cop "sarge". Wasn't sure if he knew them.

All those explosions though and one guy pops out to see what's going on? I'm assuming all of that was for dramatic effect and didn't actually happen.

Went see it over the weekend. As others have mentioned it is good even though the outcome is known. Some intense moments which are probably amplified by the fact we were there for the race.
Don't be like the arse on our row that brought a cow bell to the movie to ring during the marathon portion of the movie.

good flick! Marky-mark delivers again.
