The Patriot (2000)
 email this review to a friend
Viva la revolution!
There is a great old 1965 Jimmy Stewart movie called Shenandoah about a father that finds his family in the middle of the Civil War. The Patriot is basically the same story updated with a different war. They are both worth watching.
Mel Gibson plays the father (with a military past he is trying to forget) who is just trying to runs a farm and avoid conflict. Neesdless to say that is not going to happen as his sons get drawn into the battle. The old warrior comes back and starts fighting the British.
Heath Ledger plays one of his sons, while the ever lovely Joely Richardson plays his sister-in-law (wife is dead). Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter) plays the bad guy. Is that a surprise? The cast list has several other great players, and you will likely find one that you enjoy.
Good movie about the period.

| There was a big uproar in Liverpool due to the fact that William Tavington played by Jason Isaacs (who is also from Liverpool) was a prominent figure in Liverpool he was an MP and did a lot of good thing for the city.....his family was pretty f*cking pissed off when he was portrayed as a ponsy murderous tw*t they didn't even give him a scouse accent.....thoes bastards. |
