Title: Hold your horses, let me explain my rating...
Review: The film itself is very well made and pleasing to watch. Buy it today, by all means.My extreme distaste is to the fact that in the book this is based on, the British actually fight (and beat) an American ship in the war of 1812 (which the poor Brits had to fight at the same time as the Napoleonic war). What's the matter with you Americans? Can't you stand to see a little defeat on the big screen with some great historics to go with it? You won the damn war in the end, anyway! In most historical films the British are portrayed as evil and tyrannical (Braveheart, The Patriot), or else just bumbling, and ultra-posh. What a load of Hollywood Hogwash! It's like in "The Last Samurai", where you just have to have some American heroe gloating over victory.Free your minds people! (Take no offence, please. I think Americans are great!)
