THE PATRIOT (2000)

 

Director: Roland Emmerich 

Starring: Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger and Joely Richardson
 

Plot Summary: Peaceful farmer Benjamin Martin is driven to lead the Colonial Militia during the American Revolution when a sadistic British officer murders his son. 

Deserves a salute as the first Hollywood epic about the American Revolution to successfully blend ferocity and feeling. Often melodramatic and manipulative but it is solid, involving filmmaking so one willingly takes the ride it offers.
 
Aarnav’s Rating: 7.5/10
