This movie was excellent from start to finish. Just when you think the ending is near, there's more story and suspense. Lots of action too. Mel Gibson is terrific as well as Heath Ledger. If you haven'r seen this movie then by all means buy it. It's well worth every penny you spend. Enjoy !

Of particular note in "The Patriot" was the costumes & props - the persons in charge did a fantastic job! It seems like extra effort was put into this movie. The photography was outstanding! The acting by everyone was 1st class. "The Patriot" is loosley based on the true story of Francis "The Swamp Fox" Marion during the American Revolution. This 2000 release definately belongs in the NTSC VHS collection of a historian or militaria collector. Personally, I see nothing wrong with school age children seeing it but the parent needs to review it first to make sure. Well worth the price!
Outstanding movie. Brings out the American in us. I can relate and hopefully more people will wake up and keep our patriotism alive... Mel Gibson at his best. Awesome costumes. Real life suffering and success all in one...
I like the fact that I can edit only the parts I need for teaching purposes. Showing a DVD in class requires selecting scenes throughout the period and takes away from the flow of learning. An edited DVD that I can make myself is more efficient.
Great acting, great historically informative plot. Not only worth watching, but a must have in any American home video library. I highly recommend this one, and I do not do that with just any movie.
