The director’s second big- screen release of the year — and his third portrait of frontline heroism starring Mark Wahlberg, after Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon — the movie is, for Berg, a characteristically high- powered rendition of a real- world disaster that’s still fresh in the collective memory. If nothing else, Berg proves himself a master of filmmaking efficiency; he made this technically complex action piece, which took its bow in the closing- night slot at AFI Fest, in a matter of months. Set for a limited holiday opening in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, it should click strongly with moviegoers, especially after its mid- January expansion into the heartland. Written by Berg, Matt Cook and Joshua Zetumer, the movie is a countdown thriller to a disaster we all know is coming. Beginning hours before the 2. Boston’s world- renowned race and moving through the manhunt that follows it, the story jumps among survivors, first responders and investigators, with Wahlberg filling the Everyman shoes, and providing a typically likable focal point, as fictional character Tommy Saunders, a sergeant with the Boston PD.
As Saunders, Wahlberg is no less engaging than in any of his somewhat underappreciated screen performances. Yet this is the least interesting of the men of duty he’s played for Berg, more a stand- in for the American working- class hero than a fully fleshed character, albeit one who’s married to an exceptionally clear- eyed woman, played with dependable grit by Michelle Monaghan. It’s no fault of Wahlberg’s when his brief third- act monologue remains a screenwriterly statement of theme, never finding a pulse. But as a man of action, he’s thoroughly convincing. Fighting his way back from an injury that has sidelined him on the job, Saunders considers his marathon- day assignment an insult. With his neon- yellow vest, he feels like a crossing guard in a clown suit, but when the spring day is shattered by incomprehensible violence, he springs into action, limp and all. In the ensuing days of investigation, he puts his homicide experience to work to interview victims and witnesses, his know- how explained rather than explored.
With a strong assist from production designer Tom Duffield, Berg captures the fascinating speed and precision with which the feds, led by FBI Special Agent Richard Des. Lauriers (a fittingly terse Kevin Bacon), set up a command center in the Black Falcon Terminal, a vintage warehouse on the city’s waterfront, for their digital and DNA forensics. Even so, procedural matters aren’t Berg’s focus so much as the on- the- ground manhunt and its every high- octane thrill. But first, the setup. It’s a given that every introduced character will be, in one way or another, a victim of the attacks. They include a young married couple (Rachel Brosnahan, Christopher O’Shea), an MIT security guard (Jake Picking) and Dun Meng (a superb Jimmy O.
Yang), the Chinese app designer whose carjacking by the Tsarnaevs is by far the most tense, suspenseful and involving portion of the movie. Elsewhere, the film offers up generic clashes between local cops and the feds, with John Goodman’s Ed Davis, commissioner of the Boston Police Department, sounding off in favor of swift action. Bacon’s FBI honcho has no less a sense of urgency, but he’s more attuned to political currents and potential pitfalls, and seeks a more measured public stance — until, that is, the identifying surveillance photos of the perpetrators, Tamerlan (Themo Melikidze) and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Alex Wolff), are leaked to Fox News.

Melikidze and Wolff lend nuance to their portrayals of the brothers — respectively, threateningly charismatic controller and seemingly depressive acolyte — but the Tsarnaevs aren’t of particular interest to Berg except as villains. As for the elder Tsarnaev’s wife (Melissa Benoist), she figures in a standout scene in which an enigmatic police interrogator, played commandingly by Khandi Alexander, reads her the riot act. Simmons is the epitome of old- school cool as Sergeant Jeffrey Pugliese of the police department in neighboring Watertown, where Dzhokhar’s attempted escape famously ends in a backyard boat. Berg recreates the marathon explosions themselves with full- frontal pandemonium, a confusion of blood and noise as limbs are severed and families are torn apart, rushed to separate hospitals. Schliessler’s restless camerawork expertly evokes the unspeakable panic and confusion, it can also feel self- consciously kinetic. Pulling back from explicit imagery, he crafts striking aerial shots of the city that poignantly suggest its upheaval.
Throughout the film, the score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross intensifies the action with its relentless jabs and tremors, from chords to ticks to clangs to heart- pounding drumbeats. Yet however technically proficient the movie, however heartfelt its admiration for everyone who worked feverishly to contain the damage, nothing in the narrative proves remotely as affecting as the documentary footage and interviews that Berg includes at film’s end.

Patriots Film Review: How Tom Brady Engineered Game- Winning Drive Vs. The Patriots got the ball back after their defense forced a punt by allowing just one first down. It then took Brady nine plays to throw the go- ahead touchdown to rookie wideout Malcolm Mitchell late in the fourth quarter to seal a 2. Jets. Brady looked the way of former Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis twice on the drive. It was Brady’s 3.
He ranks third all- time in game- winning drives and second in fourth- quarter comebacks. Here’s how the series unfolded.
PLAY 1: First and 1. NE 1. 7The fourth- quarter drive started inauspiciously with Brady’s errant throw, which was dropped by tight end Martellus Bennett. With pressure coming off the offensive left, Brady threw too far ahead of Bennett, who saw. Brady’s pass drifted to the sideline, and rookie Darron Lee stayed with Lewis well. PLAY 5: Second and 1. NYJ 4. 3Brady found Edelman covered by a linebacker and quickly targeted him.
Edelman dropped the pass. PLAY 6: Third and 1. NYJ 4. 3The Jets sent six rushers on the next play, and Brady threw to his most dependable receiver while under siege.
The Patriots faced fourth down, and Brady threw to James White. First down. PLAY 8: First and 1. NYJ 3. 3New York came out in Cover- 3 on the eighth play of the drive. Chris Hogan was able to find a wide- open seam in the zone coverage. The right cornerback was occupied by Mitchell, and the deep safety had to keep an eye on Edelman, who was moving into the middle of the field. Hogan was lit up but held onto the ball.
PLAY 9: First and goal, NYJ 8. The Jets sent six pass rushers, leaving their secondary.
The cornerbacks are depending on the pass rush to get to the quarterback while having to concentrate on protecting the middle of the field. The Patriots stacked Edelman and Mitchell on the left side of the field. Revis, lined up across from Edelman, took Mitchell, who ran the deeper route. The rookie wideout ran past the veteran cornerback for the touchdown catch.
Patriots defensive end Chris Long forced a fumble on a strip sack of Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, allowing New England to close out the game with handoffs and kneel downs. Other notes from our film review: — Fitzpatrick was 2 of 3 for 2. Patriots pass rushers, who generated two pressures. Fitzpatrick was 1. Patriots pass rushers, who generated four hurries and a QB hit. Fitzpatrick was 9 of 1.
Patriots pass rushers, who generated a sack and four hurries. New England actually had its most success with just three pass rushers, which goes to show blitzing isn’t everything.— Linebacker Shea Mc. Clellin played mostly on early.
Van Noy looks comfortable in coverage, though he should have been called for pass interference on a target to running back C. J. Spiller.— Rookie Elandon Roberts played just four snaps but made a 3- yard tackle for loss, showing his burst through the middle of the defense.— The Patriots’ young interior offensive line held up despite a tough matchup against three former first- round picks in defensive linemen Leonard Williams, Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson. All were overpowered at times but kept Brady clean from any sacks while springing running back Le. Garrette Blount for 6. Blount had two long runs, one of which he had to reverse field for after Shaq Mason and Marcus Cannon crowded up the right side. Blount had a terrible lead blocker who wound up slowing down the big running back, allowing him to gain only 1.
That blocker was Brady with his bum knee.— Lewis looked another step faster his second week back from multiple knee surgeries. He averaged 5. 8 yards per touch.— It was a monster day for defensive tackle Malcom Brown, who made multiple run stuffs and forced an intentional grounding penalty.— Dont’a Hightower didn’t bring any pressure, but he was blowing up blockers in the run game.— Cornerback Malcolm Butler allowed over 1. Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa. Butler was competitive on the catches he let up, but it wasn’t his best day. Fellow corners Logan Ryan and Eric Rowe continued to play well in the slot and outside, respectively.
