Yawn

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2000)

This movie is a tiresome retread of themes and imagery found in Braveheart. Everyone's favourite right-wing nut Mel Gibson is here once again to tell you how evil the English are, which is a consistent theme in many modern hollywood movies (no doubt due to the fact that the UK is a politically correct enemy in these post USSR times). Barry Norman would no doubt agree.
Why can't we ever have a movie showing the US as the bad guy? Mmmm? And before all you American zealots message me to tell me how great the US is, just stop for one second and don't be so paranoid and insecure! Insecure like this movie! If the UK had won the war of independence, the world would be a better place. Read Turtledove's The Two Georges for evidence.
