George Smith Patton Jr.

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2006)

They don't make real warriors any more. Patton was absolutely old school in the art of war. He was truly an anachronism - something of an enigma straight out of the 16th century. Patton's colourful language often obscured the brilliance of his mind, his incredible knowledge of military history and his tactical acumen.
This is a wonderful movie. It is good because it presents Patton as the man he was - without cutting corners, or putting PC spin on things. There never anything PC about Patton. But it took men like Patton to crush Nazism in Europe. This is a wonderful tribute to a very complex and brilliant man.
