Exploitation
Hollywood must love whenever a disaster happens. It immediately gives them a story to make a movie about. War movies are one thing, but do we really need a movie about every bad thing that ever happens?
I have no interest in seeing these types of movies. This isn't a way to honor the victims. It's a way to exploit a horrible event for profit. Does Mark Wahlberg think he's providing a noble service for his city? I don't know about Bostonians, but I just see this as a way for a guy using his Boston roots to make money off of a tragedy.
