The flick will appeal to Mel Gibson fans. This overlong, bloody and melodramatic motion picture was compellingly produced -along with Dean Devlin- and directed by Roland Emmerich (The Day after tomorrow, Godzilla, Independence Day, Stargate, Universal Soldier, Moon 44, Ghost Chase, Joey). As well as colorful and brilliant cinematography from Caleb Deschanel. Adding a rousing and attractive musical score from maestro John Williams, Steven Spielberg's regular. Alongside the great Mel Gibson appears the early deceased Heath Ledger and a large cast of secondaries giving sensational performances, such as : Chris Cooper, Tom Wilkinson, Joely Richardson, Tcheky Karyo, Donald Logue, Adam Baldwin, Leon Rippy, Rene Auberjonois and special mention for Jason Issacs providing a really baddie role as sadistic colonel.
A violently idealist movie dealing with historical events about the Independence War, battles between Colonians and British army.
The main character and central axis of the movie results to be Benjamin Martin/Mel Gibson, magnificently performed, as a bloodied veteran of the French and Indian Wars, and a few years later a pacifist, but his pacifism owes as much to pragmatism as conviction to defend and care his several children. Revolutionary War vengeance pic with thrills, noisy action, overwhelming fights and well-played. Before there was a nation, there was a fight for freedom. Before they were legends, they were heroes. Where would you draw the line ? Before they were soldiers, they were family. What would you do if they destroyed your home, threatened your family. When Martin's idealistic soldier son Gabriel : Aussie Ledger is captured, daddy gets caught in action. Tavington : Jason Isaacs, underlings : Adam Baldwin, and commander-in-chief : Tom Wilkinson have other ideas. He is a former guerrilla soldier who just wants to raise his family in peace. Benjamin Martin : Mel Gibson is a conscientious objector due to previous wars he suffered and he is nowadays a widower of seven children : Heath Ledger, Logan Lerman, Gregory Smith, Mika Boorem, Sky Bartusiak, Trevor Morgan. Spectacular and breathtaking film about the American Independence War dealing with an enjoyable family and the tragic events happening along the way.
