It is a real shame that Hollywood and Gibson take history and turn it on its head. While the movie had some good, even excellent moments, it was more an action movie than a historical movie. This is a real shame because people will watch this and think that is how the Americian Revolution was.

There's enough story, explosions, fights, drama, love, etc. to entertain you. Never gets too slow, but you do catch yourself thinking they could of cut 15 minutes from it and lose nothing!

Some things are worth fighting for...

Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) distinguished himself in the French and Indian Wars but now lives in peace with his seven children on his sprawling South Carolina plantation. The horrors of conflict come back to haunt him, however, when his headstrong eldest son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) defies his orders to join the American army. Unwilling to get involved himself, Benjamin reluctantly joins the fight when second eldest son Thomas (Gregory Smith) is killed in cold blood by sadistic British officer, Colonel Tavington (Jason Isaacs). Determined to protect the rest of his family and sister-in-law Charlotte (Joely Richardson) from harm, Benjamin takes up arms alongside his patriotic son Gabriel, leading a brave militia into battle against the overwhelming English army.
