Patriot's Day

[Sir Slash]

The wife and I went and saw this one tonight. A very good film with some tying together the story lines and characters that might have been missed by just watching the news stories. It didn't try at all to PC-Wash the Muslim involvement and managed to add a little tension to the boring parts of the investigation. Acting was good and the accents seemed about right. The most intense part was one I never expected-- the repeated scene of the covered body of the 8 year-old boy killed in the bombing being stood over by a Mass. state trooper until the FBI could examine the body for evidence. Great job for the Director, Mr. Berg. I'd go 7.5 outta 10.  O0

My wife works as an anesthesiologist at Mass Gen Hosp and worked on the victims the day after.  She has no desire to see the movie even though they filmed parts of it where I live in Malden (since Watertown where the shoot out actually took place said no to the film crew recreating it there).  She did say that the casualties if it had been any other city than Boston (due to the large number of level 1 trauma hospitals and the huge pool of medical personnel needed to staff them) would have been double digits killed.

I watched the whole thing unfold live.  I don't really need a dramatization of it at this point.
