a man (mel) joins his son in the revolutionary war to avenge his family

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2000)

Ok, this movie really wasn't that great. I just found it rather unentertaining. The parts that were cool, well were pretty damn cool, but the parts that sucked (cough the majority of the movie cough cough) really sucked. The part that stands out the most was when Mel's son, Thomas I think, went into the church to seek malitia memebers, and then the 16/17 year old girl stands up and gives a little pep talk. Come on...in those days she was told to sit and be quiet, and nothing else. A young girl like that speaking up to the whole town just wouldn't happen. I gave "The Patriot" a five.
