From One Patriot to a Movie About a Patriot

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2013)

Mel Gibson had a string of movies with The Bounty, Mad Max, Lethal Weapon Part One, The Incredible Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, The Patriot and We were soldiers that may not be seen again for generations. He is not a Hollywood Elitist and makes movies from the heat. Despite his problems with rage in later years it takes nothing away from his body of work.
The Patriot is a great depiction of The side of the American family during the Revolutionary War. Most Americans have no idea what live was like in the 1700's of the way that men might have been in the early history of our country. This movie sheds light on the way it might have been. From a pure drama standpoint the movie rates a ten or 5 Stars.... While not as great of an epic as Braveheart, Gibson's performance alone will leave you cheering at the end of the movie.
Happy Viewing.
