An absolute masterpiece SPOILERS

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2004)

The Patriot is full of surprises and will keep you at the edge of your seat the whole time. Mel Gibson gives an extraordinary performance of a father who is ripped apart by war. There are so many scenes that show how well an actor he really is. The Revolutionary War was always an interesting war to me. This movie was very accurate with its facts and depicted the war very well. The conflict between Tavington and Martin is beautifully portrayed and it was the glue that held the story together. Family bonds was also a big issue that was brought out the the picture. The war that was brought upon this family had many pros and cons. All though two sons were lost during the war, they became so much closer and I thought that was a great story. I give the Patriot TWO THUMBS UP.
