It's literally the exact same movie as Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" from 5 years prior, but it's great nonetheless.

The Patriot is an enjoyable enough war action-packed movie that is completely and sumptuously exciting and entertaining. With rebellion in the air of the summer of 1776, we follow our main protagonist and hero, Benjamin Martin in a heartwarming and touching story.

I saw it twice and liked it vastly more the second time around, when I'd adjusted my expectations and had my bearings from the get-go. Then it became about digging the spectacle.

A classic film one would watch in their US history class to go over the Revolutionary War and all that it entailed. It is a great family study as well and really captures an everyday person’s perspective of the time period and being on the ground in a time when so much chaos is ensuing around you. The film does a great job of capturing this injustice and chaos. A solid performance from Mel Gibson and the late great Heath Ledger.
