Stupid, Stupid, Stupid -- Please Tell Me This Film Does Not Represent American Patriotism

Rating: 1/10 (14 July 2010)

Piece of garbage from garbage peddler Roland Emmerich about a man's crusade to avenge the destruction of his family by a British officer during the American Revolutionary War.
The film puts at its center a villain so ridiculously evil that we root for the protagonist by default, even though his motives are just as sadistic. And the fact that this story is sold as a patriotic tribute to America only adds to its nauseating qualities.
Yet one more film in the long line of films indicating that Mel Gibson cannot be involved in a project that does not revel in brutality.
Grade: F
