The patriot is an excellent film both on the side of the cast and on the plot, which hides a very deep meaning behind the protagonist (Mel Gibson). I strongly recommend seeing it to everyone. good vision :)

I've watched this movie about 4 different times now. I have to say, the visuals were pretty great! The battle scenes and the camera work was on point however, the British were poorly represented in the movie. They seem, over the top, barbaric in almost the entirety of the movie. Aside from the holes in history and jerking off the "America" boner, not a bad movie.

I remember watching this film 2/3 times. Mel Gibson really rules the world. The film is about the independence of South Carolina and the ruthless rulers of England. The film portrays the definite struggle of a man, Mel Gibson, who knows what war, rebellion and blood shed is all about. He removes his family from all those hurdles, but...... rebellion knocks his door.Each scene is portrayed in a clear manner, a person's struggle to create a militia and then launch a strategic war against the mighty English people. It is a clean film and you can watch with your family. The film does not depict any scene of torture or grotesque blood shed. You would really feel your adrenalin growing with the final war scene.Great watch !!

Peaceful farmer Benjamin Martin is driven to lead the Colonial Militia during the American Revolution when a sadistic British officer murders his son. The Patriot is easily the 2nd best performance of late actor Heath Ledger and also a great performance by Mel Gibson himself running around holding weapons or axes and destroying everything on his path and the fact that he always finds tragedy on his life is so sad he looses 2 sons, his wife and even his daughter seems to be apart from his life and Jason Isaacs as the bad guy is such a great casting sure there is some historic problems here and there but it's just a movie don't go that crazy about it cause it's still a pretty great movie and probably the best of director Roland Emmerich in years i give The Patriot a 10/10.
