The Crossing covers a small but crucial part of the American Revolution. Based largely on Washington's personal correspondence, it is probably fairly accurate, but without embedded journalists, who knows for sure.  Daniels plays Washington with dignity, and passion.  The supporting cast of little known actors do quite well also.  The battle is well staged despite Hollywood's abhorrence of muzzle loading muskets and their capability of fully automatic fire.  This film can stand with Gettysburg as the best look at part of one  of America's wars.
