Among the best character studies in film history.

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2006)

General George S.Patton was a man who loved his country.If George C.Scott's portrayal was even remotely like the real Patton,then he no doubt would have taken on entire armies by himself armed with nothing but a stick.Very few actors have so immersed themselves in a character so deeply that they made me forget that they were only acting.George C.Scott,after my first viewing of this film just two days ago,is one of the rare few that have pulled this off.While the supporting cast is nothing short of credible,Scott's performance is so profound that it comes off as a virtual one man show.It is one of the best character studies in cinema history,and should not be missed.
