The Patriot

A former soldier seeks a quiet life as a farmer, but the American Revolution reaches his home when his eldest son joins the fight against Britain. Forced to confront his violent past, he reluctantly returns to battle to protect his family and support the struggle for independence.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like sweeping, violent historical adventures such as We Were Soldiers or The Last of the Mohicans; Not for you if you want nuanced history, subtle villains, or a consistently brisk pace.
