Title: Hollywooden
Product review: The Patriot is pretty much your typical Hollywood blockheader. Cardboard characterizations and a formulaic script overwhelm the excellent cinematography and glimmers of good acting. I was put off by the distasteful villainization of the British, who in truth, acquitted themselves quite honorably in their conduct of the war; and of Lord Cornwallis, who was a decent man and general. In this movie, Hollywood once again shows its odd understanding of how warfare is really conducted. In warfare one wants the HIGH ground! Not to mention the foolishness of shooting your enemy from a circle!!! However, the most lamentable fault of The Patriot is it's utter predictability. I continually annoyed the people I was watching it with by telling them what would happen next.... Rent this movie if you like Mel Gibson, you won't be disappointed.
