Title: We deserve better
Product review: This depiction of Revolutionary War figure Francis Marion has Epic written all over it - from its choice of Mel Gibson as its reluctant hero to its 2 hour and 45 minute length. The only problem is that its a bad movie - the characters are uninteresting and cartoonish and whitewashed to make it a "feel good" drama - how many times can you roll your eyes at its cliches, trite dialogue and sacharine tug at the heartstrings - well again, the movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes so the answer is Lots. While the director may have been attempting to make an action epic more on par with his other blockbusters - Independance Day and Godzilla - i feel this movie should be held to a higher standard unless you feel our nations history should be treated with the same level of gravity as aliens and giant radiactive lizards.
