A fantastically fun revenge tale 10/10

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2002)

NO it is not historically accurate -- and no, this is not Gone With The Wind. The Patriot is nothing more then Lethal Weapon goes to war against the English. This is not Oscar material. This film, is however, one giant action movie -- that is given an epic landscape. I enjoyed this film much more then Gladiator, because it delivered in so many more ways. Gladiator is only superior in the acting department. The Patriot's action scenes are alive and vivid, as opposed the closed in feeling that Gladiator had. The Patriot's finale, or the final battle to the film, contains wonderful action sequences. This is a tale of revenge that is worth owning.
Jason Isaacs damn near steals the show.
