Une traque américaine : L'attentat du marathon de Boston

Generally this was a good documentary, not wasting your time, to the point and telling the story from many different perspectives such as the victims, police, fbi, etc. It does miss more proper investigation into their family and actually talking to the perpetrator though.

I would have rated this much higher, if it wasn't for some of their extremely out of place interviewees as Phillip Martin. He's a "journalist" who does nothing but complain about law enforcement, much more concerned about the well-being of the perpetrator than any victim. His narrow-minded ideologies are just glowing. Secondly we have the muslim friend who's also much more concerned about muslims getting a bad reputation, than innocent people getting killed or actually having muslims commit less terrorism. We all know Netflix added these for DEI. It only drags down the integrity of the rest of the series.

That being said. If you can ignore those parts, the rest is a good retelling of the investigation following the bombing.

Nobody will forget the footage from The Boston Marathon, the explosions that caused deaths, injury and so much upset. This three part documentary series explores who was behind it, and why, as well as the shocking series of events that followed.

In comparison with some more recent documentaries, this one was streets ahead, very detailed and factual, not only did they try to give context, but they also tried to explain the how and why, just how the brothers ended up committing their horrendous acts.

The second episode is one of the most shocking, but interesting things I've seen in some time, it's truly like something out of a well imagined action thriller.

Some very revealing and interesting interviews, you'll get some powerful insight into events, first hand.

Definitely worth seeing, 8/10.

So I'll start by sharing that the documentary coverage of this tragic event was well done. They did a great job of capturing the horror and trauma of the victims. The viewer is able to really get inside the emptions and shock felt by those present and those impacted by what happened. My heart truly goes out to the victims of this horrible act of terrorism. Another positive is the coverage of the investigation and manhunt for the perpetrators. I thought they did an excellent job of capturing this thing from the perspective of those in law enforcement. But I will say that the choices of some of the other commentary were just horrible. One prime example is the investigative journalist (Phillip Martin). I'm sorry, but this guy was just a joke. Every single thing he said was sharply slanted against law enforcement. He was so painfully transparent in his hate for law enforcement, with nothing but sharp criticism for every single thing they did. The law enforcement officials were tasked with such an incredibly difficult job in this scenario. You can't blame the police because a bomber is shooting at them. Are they not supposed to shoot back? Wasn't it their primary job to bring in the perpetrators and stop them from taking any more acts of terror? If they hadn't caught these guys, who knows what they'd have done next. The investigative journalist obviously had no clue at all about what it's like to be taking fire and putting your life on the line to stop a terrorist. They also interviewed one of the friends of the younger bomber, and he was angered when they finally caught him because they thought he might be dead. How inconceivably insensitive to the victims of these guys' horrible act! Anyway, these views really bothered me and completely turned me off whenever these interviewees opened their mouths. Other than that, it was a good ducumentary about this situation.

Other than having viewed other documentaries, and a recent drama tv-series about the triple murder that happened a few months before the marathon bombings, that this maybe one of the sturdiest and most neutral of them all.

Based on interviews of victims, runners, friends and law enforcement , a massive surge of new reels and amateur footage and stills, and lets not forget the terrible heartshooting sounds of screams and the shootouts from the manhunt.

What i miss though , is the part that i find most peculiar that they do not air, is the lack of interviews from the initial custodial moments, there must be hundreds of hours of search and research from the criminologists and psychologists that mustve interviewed the culprit, and this documentary doesnt give you a clue what happened in the courts. That should be the next story to tell for us non bostoners and non citizens of the usa(im norwegian).

Im not calling out for an hero, cause that is of course all the massachutinarians, but a bit more of the works of miss justicia wouldnt harm the case. As a conclusion i would say that matters of this kind will never come to an end, and im afraid that something like this will happen again. So in the mean time my message to the survivors and the people that lost loved ones, STAY STRONG FOREVER, and stay together in the memory of the deceased.

Well made and intense documentary, a recommend from the grumpy old man.

I'm truly shocked to see so many poor reviews! I started watching this on a whim and was in tears within the first five minutes, seeing little children dancing and playing and then BOOM! The shock and terror of the assembled crowd was heart-breaking. Living in the area (and husband working in Boston) it was gripping to see all the home and security videos pieced together to give an overview of events.

As the bombing was on the forefront of the news for days we saw a lot of what was going on with the manhunt. I was transfixed watching this docuseries. Hearing the perspectives of the home videos as well as the calls to 911 and the interviews with peoples involved, both working and victims, gave a gut-wrenching perspective of the events that transpired. I personally feel this was very well made and I'll recommend this to others.
