Our fuckin' city

Patriots Day

Crit
A perfectly honorable tale of American patriotism; I'm guessing our president-elect would love it. What I found odd about it, though, was that easily the most interesting people--the only ones whose motivations were not perfectly straightforward and unsurprising--were the Tsarnaev family.

Long, long epilogue comprising photos of and interviews with the actual cops and civilians we've just seen portrayed by movie stars--plus Big Papi shaking hands with the actors in the tunnel, then going out onto the Fenway sod in front of the real people to deliver his famously obscene speech of defiance and solidarity and love.
Trailers
  • Alien: Covenant--Apparently the covenant is that Ridley Scott promised to remake the original with sex when special effects improved enough.
