Patriots Day [Blu-ray] [2 Discs] [2016]

This movie got me more in the know of what happened during this sad day in Boston. Seeing this put together after reading about it and watching the news really seems on point. The acting is believable and since I purchased the 4K version I'm happy with the picture. I did not give this 5 stars only because I did not get any wow factor watching it in 4K. I think it would of been just as good if I purchased it in regular Blu Ray. I just expected more because 4K Ultra HD Blu Rays cost about 2X the amount and for that I wanted it to be a better experience. I do have all the 4K equipment so I know it's not my fault. Do not decide against buying this movie because it is a good movie but maybe you can get it on sale.

Very good. I didn’t have high hopes for this but it’s surprised me!!

Excellent movie, about a sad event from the history of a nation, good buy

One of the best movies of 2017. Mark was big in this one.

I'm a generally a Mark Wahlberg fan, in this movie he does an outstanding job portraying a LE officer in Boston. The movie really brings out the impact of the Boston Marathon attack in the city and how the people rose up to overcome their tragedy. Very intense movie at times, beware lots of language.

Really intense film. I was in Cambridge during the events and saw hundreds of police cars converging at fast speed on Watertown, a really sleepy little bedroom town next to Boston, across the Charles River. I remember that being in a lockdown was eerie. Boston and neighboring four towns were affected. All of us stayed inside and police helicopters flew overhead, looking for movement. It was really scary -- like being in a war zone. After the shelter in place order was lifted around 6 pm on the second day, the man with the boat went out to smoke and peeked inside his boat and saw the second bomber semi conscious inside. I was surprised and glad that the police took him alive. They were pretty pumped up as there had been a vicious shooting of an MIT campus police officer the day before. He was killed execution style in his car, with his gun still in its holster. The cold vicious nature of the killing affected the police. Police are a very tight knit group in Boston. Transit cop, University cop -- it didn't matter. The whole experience was as terrible and chilling as depicted. And the spirit of Boston Strong that was born that day was real. The courage of everyone was incredible. And people cheered police after the arrest was made, as shown. Yes, that was very real. Five stars for bringing the whole experience back so realistically. Made me cry. Second bomber: A federal jury gave him death. In a liberal place like Massachusetts. It was the death of the young boy that sealed it. And defendants flipping the bird to a security camera. He was unrepentant and passive during the trial. In the sentencing portion, he read a statement of apology but it did not appear to be his own. Four years later, he sits on death row in a supermax prison in Colorado. Appeals could take years.

Ok when I watch films I do so on a 180" movie theater screen with full 7.1 surround sound and the Buttkicker transducer system. This is not to Boast but to give an idea of the clarity that I rate both 4k and 1080p films. 1st off regardless if you are huge into 4k or still collect Blu-ray; I will add that with today's (Oppo) upscaling technology along with upscaling technology on theater projectors that the difference between Blu-ray & 4k is minimal. I will say that going over 180" that you will likely see a difference and recommend 4k for 150"+ screens. I found the film to be Perfect for the big screen! There are certain films I get home after buying and wish I would have supported them in the theater too. This film (like Deep Horizen) both with Mark Warburg showed incredible strength through real life stories that were brutally tragic. I did like the fact that M. Warburg was not some super hero, but has started to play the average guy. Don't get me wrong he is no Tom Hanks nor Bendadict Cumberbach but he's actually really good at playing parts with more emotion. I will watch this film again. I'm glad I bought it. There's nothing worse than buying a film that lacks replay-ability. PS> Great to see those little terroistic morons get what was hunted....
