From Patriots Day:
From acclaimed director Peter Berg (“Deepwater Horizon,” “Lone Survivor”) and Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg (“The Departed,” “Lone Survivor”), CBS Films and Lionsgate present “Patriots Day.” Based on true events, “Patriots Day” is a powerful story of a community’s extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. An account of the events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing, the tension-packed dramatic thriller chronicles in detail one of the most sophisticated and well-coordinated manhunts in law enforcement history.
The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing shattered lives and tested the fabric of the American spirit. But in its wake, an entire city came together to bring the perpetrators to justice before they could inflict further damage. Rather than give themselves over to panic and fear, the citizens of Boston banded together, choosing solidarity over divisiveness in pursuit of a common enemy.
From RP Staff:
There's a chance that Director Peter Berg and Sgt Jeff Pugliese might visit us at RP to answer some of your questions about the film. In advance of our discussion with them, let us know what you would ask if you could be here with us!

Do you make any references to how our military posture affects our homeland security? Did the drawback of troops make our country became more vulnerable to attack? Can you compare this to how many counties live their day to day life in fear?

How much detail will be put into the movie from the incident? Or are they going to use news footage to simulate the blast.

How much did the City Of Boston Emergency folk provide in the way of technical advice in regards to how they responded during the attack, the immediate aftermath of the attack, up to the Manhunt for the bombers?

As every story always has multiple viewpoints and "truths", and I have no idea how your story is going to unfurl or what points you will decide to explore, my questions are these:
Will you explore the video evidence that seems to show US operators on the ground during and after the bombing?.....and why they were there?
Also will you address the fact that Boston's constitutional rights were effectively suspended during the search, a.e. house to house warrantless searches and area curfews? Large areas being dealt with in a military manner, as if they were Baghdad?
There is also the question of if this was a False Flag operation launched to advance someone's agenda? Many agencies are very adept at this.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to your film. Dennis

Welcome! So many great questions already posted. Majority of the ones I would have asked have been. Didn't read through them all so apologizes if this has already been asked: Did you use any actual military members as actors/actresses in supporting roles or otherwise in the movie to represent those that were actually there and to give more credibility to your military viewers? One of the things that really makes or breaks certain movies to the military community is the correct portrayal of us (big or small) in the movie.

To be perfectly honest I do not like to watch movies about recent tragedies, especially ones of this magnitude. Just a personal preference.

Myself and the other officers were put on administrative leave. We worked with the DEA over the following days to make sure we were alright. I don't think the movie addresses this. I can't say enough for Jessica, and her strength after losing both of her legs. There's never enough we can do for people like her.

This is insight well needed to be heard, from people inside the true story. Yes Jessica is extremely strong inside and out. Thank you for the insight.

The fact that these two Brothers were able to initiate this terrorist engagement is still a conudrum. With the Dept Of Homeland Security in place since 2001, where was the vetting and understanding that Chechnya personnel have been advisories since World War II. Muslims are doing what the Koran has stated by moving into communicates and then proceeding to attack citizens and corrupt our way of life. When will the P.C. police stop and realize we are at war with these people and cancel ROEs and unhand cuff our first line defenders and Military to accomplish the mission.
