The Patriot

War drama - Lots of action! The breaking away of the colonies from England. And led by Mel Gibson with vengeance. War at its worst and heroism at its best. Mel Gibson's character loses both of his sons to the war and in the process decides to fight dirty, breaking the "laws of war" by killing officers of the British army in vigilante fashion. If you liked Brave Heart you will like this movie too. But long - almost 3 hours of non-stop violence, but with a few interludes of romance. Well photographed and acted. Definitely engaging.
