Perfect cast, storyline, direction and wonderful photography

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2004)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I absolutely loved this movie. The photography was fantastic. The costumes were extraordinary, very well done. I really felt I was there in that time period. The cast was wonderful and the acting was supurb! I didn't feel like I was watching a movie, but standing at the sidelines, and observing this going on around me. Afterwards I wanted to tell each and everyone how great they were an how much I enjoyed being there. I did think at the end Mel Gibson should of died. Tavington really wasn't as evil as everyone thought. I loved this character. He really was a soldier. I think the key to this guy was when he told Martin "Doing ones duty is such a dirty business", I couldn't help but laugh when the British see their ship blow up and this character, takes a drink, flashes those eyes and tosses the glass.
Chris Cooper is always a great actor And Mel Gibson is aways good and the home Militia and Frechman. I loved them all. I was so disappointed this movie didn't walk away with all the awards. Each actor was a Super Star I would of given them all Actor of the year!
