Could've been so much better

Rating: 6/10 (22 March 2002)

There's only two reasons why this movie is worth seeing: the cinematography is great and Tom Wilkinson is excellent as General Cornwallis.
The rest is crap. This is no historical drama folks! Patriotism at its best. Not surprising that voters from the U.S. gave this one more that voters from elsewhere. The movie lacks accuracy, so much of it! And I hate those movies (just like Commando, remember that one!) when the two protagonists are fighting endlessly. In this case, it's Gibson against Jason Isaacs. The battle is raging around them, everybody's falling dead, but not them, Oh no!, nothing could disturb their little fight. Aaarrgghh!!! Why do directors take us for fools!
Out of 100, I was way too generous and gave this one 71. That's ** on a **** stars rating system.
