Pretty awful...

Rating: 3/10 (5 July 2000)

I am very upset that I paid $8.50 to see this mediocre (at best) film. I didn't want to see this movie for its character development (although it didn't help that it had ZERO), I wanted to see it for its action. Unfortunately, it only had one good action scene. The rest was lame 'emotion' interaction between characters I didn't care about.
I think the makers of this movie are banking on an ignorant and malleable American public to mindlessly accept the equally mindless patriotism in this film. This was a war fought for wealthy land owners, by the poor who were told they would be much better off with independence, and the government that created was NOT one where 'everyone is created equally under God' despite what a character says in this movie while sewing an American flag. This fact was entirely glossed over. Slavery as a whole was entirely glossed over.
I gave this movie a 3 out of 10. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but it was pretty horrible.
