Yesterday a friend wanted to know if I wanted to see Patriots Day with them. Honestly it was not a movie I wanted to see. Not because I thought it would be a bad movie, but an emotional one. But it was a friend I haven't seen in awhile, so I said OK.
This was a good movie. It was more about the terrorist and how they were caught then about the race itself. I've read a lot of stories from runner points of view, but the only thing I knew about the terrorists was the few things I saw on the news when it happened.
The whole movie, I couldn't stop thinking about my friend Lacy who ran that marathon and finished only 6 minutes before the first bomb went off. About the three people that lost their lives (plus the police officer at MIT). About those who were hurt and lost their legs.
This movie was really well done. It was tense and sad and upsetting. It is a movie I'm glad I saw, but it is one that I will probably only see this one time. It is a movie that I think everyone should see once.
Have you seen Patriots Day? Did you like it?
