A gratuitous, vacuous blood bath

Rating: 4/10 (13 August 2000)

A waste of time. Mel Gibson has really sold himself down the river. Patriot is full of gratuitous gore, and his historically ridiculous. This is "Payback" two centuries old. Not recommended. Its been 5 years since Braveheart, his last decent movie. This does not even qualify as Braveheard light.
