Finally, a good revolutionary war flick!

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2000)

Very cool film. Great costumes, sets, score, etc.Mel Gibson was fantastic in the starring role, as always (Maybe the Academy will finally recognize his acting abilities?). Also, great performances by the supporting actors. Now for all those politically correct bozos out there who are concerned that the film trounces the poor English people, please note: Some of your countrymen have done terrible things. So have some Americans, some Tahitians, some Romans, some EVERYBODY. Not ALL British people in this film were depicted as terrible. Just one. Others, such as Cornwallis, were depicted as classy, regular guys. Please get over it. This film isn't quite up there with Braveheart in my opinion, but it is still a very wonderful film. 9 out of 10. Good luck at the Oscars, Mel.
