Historically accurate? Doubtful. This is Hollywood after all.

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2000)

I'm sorry but this is not a great movie although I'm sure plenty of Americans here will be jumping on the bandwagon, what with July 4th just around the corner. The story is pure fabrication. Sure the battles are intense but why oh why does Hollywood always have to portray ALL the British as sadistic monsters ALL the time? You have Braveheart, Rob Roy, The Messenger and now this. I'm sure most Brits are taking this all a bit personally. 007 is the only thing going for you! Joking aside, the cliches in this movie are way too numerous and the British come across as way too evil. Read your history books people. It's all very well to have an action packed summer movie but could we please start to have some with intelligence and perhaps even some resemblance to the truth. Now that would be asking too much...
