	Media	Author	Review
		Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Kinetic, well cast and technically impressive (...) Like the heroic Bostonians it celebrates, civilians and law enforcement both, Peter Berg’s Patriots Day gets the job done"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"It’s genuinely exciting megaplex entertainment, informed by extensive research, featuring bona fide movie stars, and staged with equal degrees of professionalism and respect"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"A heartfelt, harrowing tribute to the film’s real-life heroes"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"There's no doubt about the worth of the movie as a well-earned tribute to the heroes and victims of a tragic event that may have just made Boston stronger. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Nigel M. Smith The Playlist	"Berg surpasses expectations by going for the jugular in 'Patriots Day (...) A deeply immersive experience that plants you at the front lines to show what happened, and the toll it took on those involved"
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"'Patriots Day' is at its best as a vivid re-creation of the measures and resources needed to conduct investigations of such catastrophic crimes (...) All the players here are good, but those in the roles of law enforcement parties (...) are particularly convincing."
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Whatever this latest true story from Peter Berg lacks in narrative depth, it’s got plenty of humanity and suspense"
		Lanre Bakare The Guardian	"A moving and compelling homage to a city and its spirit, as well as a gripping procedural (...) The tension that slowly builds as the inevitable finally happens is brilliantly wrought (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
