In 2013, terrorists detonated two bombs in the finish area of the Boston Marathon, which is held annually on Patriots' Day. Three people died in the bomb attack. More than 260 people were injured, some seriously. With the film "Patriots Day" by Peter Berg, the story is now coming to the cinemas. CBS Films has released the first official trailer, which gives us a little insight into the mood of the film. Berg seems to want to tell the story quietly and cautiously. It's less about the attack itself and more about the human confrontation, the understanding and processing of the crime.
The film tells the direct consequences of the terrorist attack. In the mass panic, police officers Tommy Saunders (Mark Wahlberg) and Jeffrey Pugliese (JK Simmons) have to keep calm and help people. At the same time, the perpetrators must be caught. How do people deal with the attack and what effects or consequences does it have on the protagonists. In addition to Mark Wahlberg, director Peter Berg was able to win other well-known stars for the project. In addition to Kevin Bacon and John Goodman, actress Michelle Monaghan is also there. Patriots Day comes to cinemas in Germany on February 2, 2017.
