OK

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2000)

The Patriot was a decent movie, but it is nothing new. The one thing I hated most was that it was SO predictable! I won't point out any specific instances for those who havent seen it, but I got the feeling I had seen all of it before. However, the action sequences were pretty good, but the acting is excellent. Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger steal the show, and Tom Wilkinson, Chris Cooper, and Jason Isaacs as the villain are also excellent. The bottom line is I was disappointed, and I hope The Perfect Storm is much better and that it kicks The Patriot's ass at the box office.
