Good bit of film

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2000)

I really enjoyed this movie. I was expecting something exactly like Braveheart, but it really wasn't. Mel Gibson's character has no real desire to fight, even thought the reluctance is there. The themes are similar, however. Regardless, very well done film with good performances all round (esp. Gibson). Not nearly as pro-American as other Roland Emmerich movies which was good, considering I'm not American :) (although the portrayal of the British seemed a bit stretched). I never really saw it as American vs. British, but rather a personal struggle with the war as a backdrop. The title is a bit misleading, IMO.
I recommend people go see it.
