Pride. Honor. Every brave man takes his turn.

Rating: 8/10 (1 June 2001)

This is a wonderful movie that will restore pride and let you walk away with the feeling of viewing a masterpiece. Bravery can be found in every age, creed and color. Mel Gibson is superb as Col. Benjamin Martin, who reluctantly leads a volunteer militia to heroic fighting in the American revolutionary war. Col. Martin is known as 'The Ghost' for the way he stymies and makes fools of the British commanders. Revenging the death of his young son, Martin is fearless and relentless. The battle scenes are brutal and power packed. A rough and bumpy ride you won't soon forget.

Also appearing in this smoke filled war drama are: Heath Ledger, Lisa Brenner, Jason Isaacs and Chris Cooper.
