Gritty and gory, a well-crafted revenge plot that makes you feel really patriotic.
A beautiful American story about the true costs of freedom
Pretty darn good historical fiction movie. Real suspenseful. No matter how much I don't like Mel Gibson as a person, he's a damn good actor.
Not the biggest MG fan, but this one I liked. Jason Isaac's played a great villain.
Very moving film about the American revolution with a brilliant performance by Mel Gibson
Overrated but Heath Ledger's performance is amazing.
Wonderfully shot film. Battle Scenes are off the chain but is pretty much Braveheart in 1775 which is fantastic more than not.
Sometimes ridiculous, sometimes emotional, mostly epic.
A serious look back at a dark period of America war history.
Good, emotional movie about a father’s love with him children during the Civil War
