Plot

Benjamin Martin is a war hero who has renounced his past in favour of a quiet, productive life with his not inconsiderable brood, but then the American Revolution and those bloodthirsty British spoil everything. As a history lesson The Patriot is heading for a straight fail, but hey, you ain't watching it for that, so as an epic period romp, with some great action sequences, it does the business nicely. Three cheers for......God Save the Q.......nope, sorry, wrong patriot.
