After proving himself on the field of battle in the French and Indian War, Benjamin Martin wants nothing more to do with such things, preferring the simple life of a farmer.

Reviews
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
schwartzlola It's the story of a man, Benjamin Martin, plays by Mel Gipson, who is pacifist, doesn't like war because he know what it cost, and so he doesn't want to take part in the independance war but he's going to be forced to take part and he's going to make manythings inclued heroic action. It's also a strong family story: Benjamin Martin had lost his wife, and stay alone with he seven children with who he have very close link.I really liked this film for the psychological side of the the characters, very complex and complete. Moreover, the links between the characters of the family are so strong that it made me very sensitive and show the beautifulness of the family's love. It still some aspect that I didn't like in the film like violent action or when someone the film make you like dies. To conclued, I thing that The Partiot is a film that you should watch !
areatw For a so-called historical drama, 'The Patriot' seems to care a lot less about presenting the facts and reality of the events of the American Revolution and more about smearing the British through lies and deception. Not only are the events portrayed in this film misleading and historically inaccurate, but some are completely fabricated. In one scene, for example, a British soldier burns a church full of Americans to the ground, something that never happened during the revolution.Presenting these events in a fictional context would be bad enough, but including them in what's supposed to be a true and accurate historic account is dangerous. It's also completely unnecessary, what exactly was Mel Gibson trying to achieve by distorting the truth, other than to vilify British soldiers? Unfortunately, Gibson's political bias shone through in this film, which is a great shame because it had potential.
Mike LeMar "The Patriot" is hardly a "patriot". Even director Roland Emmerich admitted that the title doesn't make sense in correlation with the storyline since "the patriot" is actually the least patriotic of everyone around him. He's the only one of the rebels who doesn't have any interest in fighting, being too much of a family man. Harrison called the storyline, when offered the lead role, some type of "melodrama about one man's revenge". It focuses too much on Benjamin Martin's personal revenge instead of the war as a WHOLE. Also, at the part where Tavington takes Gabriel prisoner to have him hanged, he never explains to Benjamin what "the rules of war" are. When he asks him if he'd like a lesson about them, all that comes of it is Benjamin telling him that "no lesson is necessary."
