George C. Scott Dominates In One of the Cinema's Greatest Roles

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2000)

"Patton" is an excellent film whose focus is on the title character more than anything else. George C. Scott (in his well-deserved Oscar-winning role which he refused to accept) dominates in a way that has rarely ever been seen in any film. The film examines Patton's role in helping to defeat the Nazis in World War II Europe. Patton was definitely a historical figure whose flamboyance and controversial antics will likely be remembered more than his outstanding battlefield leadership. 5 stars out of 5.
