Very Good War Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2010)

I think this is the first film on the Revolutionary War that I have seen. This is an excellent film, a film that deserves better than a 6.9 on the rating system. Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger have very memorable characters. I would say this is Ledger's best movie after his thrilling performance in the Dark Knight.
Gibson is Benjamin Martin, a hero from the French and Indian War. He wants nothing to do with the current war. But when his son enlists, Benjamin decides he must protect and family and fight for his country.
The acting is very good. As I mentioned before, Gibson and Ledger have Oscar-like performances. Jason Isaacs is fantastic as the bad guy just like the Harry Potter movies.
This is a great movie that could make many people emotional. The music by John Williams is very good and memorable. This is one of the better war movies of all time. I rate this film 10/10.
