Stronger Review: Jake Gyllenhaal Soars in Boston Bombing Drama

[This is a re-post of myStrongerreview from the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. The movie opens in theaters on September 22nd.] What makes a hero? Is it performing superheroic feats?

At their worst, they’re blatant marketing tools aimed right at your wallet, yeah. But at their best, trailers are snapshots of a film, the spirit of a movie distilled into a two-and-a-half-minute package. And the trailer market is as crowded and confusing as ever....
