Review of Stronger

Stronger (I) (2017)
8/10
The will to survive
28 February 2021
Or go on for that matter. While this seems to be about the Boston Marathon bombing, if you are interested in a Thriller/Action movie that tackles that subject matter and the hunt for those responsible, you are better off with the Mark Wahlberg movie (Patriots Day). This here is a Drama and deals with repercussions and human toll and emotions, after a tragic event and how it affects not just someone who got "injured" (putting it mildly, but surviving does not mean one remains unscathed), but the people around him.

Just because this is a very well done movie (and very well acted, no that you should expect differently), does not mean you will like it. And no you are not a bad person if you are not into a movie like this. Some people like to watch movies for pure entertainment - and that is not what this delivers at all. This takes you places emotionally, as you go on the real life story of our main character. Not sure what changes have been made (mostly they do that for dramatic effect, I reckon this will be true here too), but as it is, this can be viewed as an inspiring and uplifting journey (no pun intended)
