cliche packed American hero epic

Rating: 3/10 (21 May 2002)

This movie has everything a good American independence war epic needs: the cruel British officer, brave American soldiers, the obligatory impressive speech to convince them to go to war, blacks gaining freedom and so on. No cliche is left untouched in this movie, the story is predictable and it seems like a lot of scenes were left out in the final version which makes the movie sometimes choppy. All in all an entertaining movie, but not one of the good ones.
