Review of Patriots Day

Notes:
*I'm not sure what to really think before watching this.
*The only trailer I saw didn't show a lot to go on.
*I feel it's a tad soon, but then again these days it doesn't seem to take long for them to create films of tragedies and such.
*I have enjoyed all of Peter Berg's work with The Rundown, The Kingdom, and Lone Survivor.
*Matt Cook also wrote Triple 9 which I felt was just good.
*Joshua Zetumer also wrote the Robocop remake that wasn't that bad.
*Paul Tamasy was involved with the Air Bud series and The Fighter. What a strange combo.
*Eric Johnson also wrote The Fighter as well as The Finest Hours (Which I still need to see).
*So let's see if this is worth the watch.

Pros:
*The acting is pretty excellent.
*You really care about who these people were.
*I thought the way they ended the movie was a good idea.
*While it can be a bit graphic it doesn't seem like glorification.

Cons:
*It's a bit heavy on the graphic images which I feel is a tad too much for this.
*It feels a bit too long at times.

Verdict:
It's not really an easy watch if you ask me. When things are shown it gets pretty brutal. I'm really not sure if it was a good idea to have it be so graphic in parts. It's the kind of thing that isn't like a horror movie. You know these things happened. It's a really well done movie though. I wouldn't recommend it for people who can't handle grisly imagery however. If you can I would definitely say to check this one out.
