Hesitated to rent this movie cause I'm not really keen on watching what I assumed would be a two hour long Boston PD and Boston in general circle jerk. But I like Peter Berg and the positive comments encouraged me. So I'll be watching this tonight. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

I also was skipping it. I get angry when I see people forced out of their homes like criminals. But I guess I will watch it. NRA Basic Pistol Instructor NRA Range Safety Officer | |||

I don't know how I missed this movie the first go round, but watched it last night. As CQB60 says, Wahlberg is a limited range actor. He's likeable, but seems to play the same character in each movie. That being said, I liked the movie. The part that grabbed me the most was the state trooper standing guard over the body of the young boy who was killed. I didn't know if that was real or Hollywood and googled it. Seems it was a mixture of both, but very powerful nonetheless. The movie got one key detail wrong about the day of the bombings. It showed a lone State Police trooper standing watch over the body of a victim who was killed in the Boylston Street blasts. In reality, a team of several officers from the Boston Police Department covered the bodies of Martin Richard and Lingzi Lu with tablecloths from restaurants there and for about 12 hours stood vigil over them until law enforcement forensics specialists were able to gather evidence from the crime scene. _____________________________________________________________________ “Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again." - Will Durant | |||

Me too. It started on Netflix today and we watched it tonight. I don't think the shootout was at night but I'm sure that was an event/time compression thing maybe. I do not remember an effective use of explosives during that shootout being reported either. Just like back then, I was ready to cut the boat kid and his sister-in-law into little pieces, alive, by the end of it all. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 | |||
