A good fictional film

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2005)

This film is best taken out of context and seen as a fictional film based on fictional events the only real battle seen in the whole film is the siege at Yorktown there are a few characters who represent real people but all in all it is a film best taken with a pinch of salt However it is still a good film. this is not a film for a history buff as it will offend the knowledge of such a person. many people will tell you that colonel tavington is a character based on a real person Tarleton and that he did not commit the atrocities shown in the film this is half true he did not commit the atrocity of burning a church with people inside he was however well known for ruthlessness in the face of the militia and did slaughter a whole regiment of Virginia militia as they surrendered
