5.0 out of 5 stars good job, July 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Patriot (DVD)

The Patriot is a different type of Seagal film. Sure there is plenty of action (although I would have liked to have seen more) but Steven relies more on his acting skills rather than his martial arts skills. Good thing. He proves not to be just a great action star (like he's already done) but he proves himself to be a damn fine actor as well. This is what drew me in. He has always been good enough to get the job done, but he must have taken lessons since his last one. This is a good film but people may not like it because of the heavy emphasis on drama. I don't know if this made it to theatres or not, but if it didn't, it should've. Steven appears to have lost some weight since Fire Down Below but he looks bigger because he's bundled up in a coat for the first half. It is true what they say, If you don't like this movie, you are probably shallow. It is very enjoyable for enviornmentalists and survivalists. The scenery and photography are wonderful and the villain was okay. Give this one a try but keep an open mind.

1.0 out of 5 stars I timed it! less than 30 seconds of fighting!, August 14, 2000

By	Rob Nile (Bremerton, Wa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patriot (1998) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Seagal is a fantastic Aikido master. He makes wonderful movies and even though he only plays the same one character over and over he seems to do it well. This movie however has next to no action 27.28 seconds of fighting not including when he grabs somebody and puts a knife to their throats. Not only was the movie void of fighting, but it was flat out stupid. The acting is poor the plot is poor and the end is insulting. (the cure is flower pedal tea that knocks the plague out of you in minutes). Yeah, I almost believe that. Get another Seagal movie, most of them are okay. this one defies the norm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Derserving more credit..., November 1, 2004

By	Hessian with Aggression "ryan21" (Reading, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patriot (1998) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Alright, so the story may not be all that great. But the acting is really good for all those involved and the philosophies behind a lot of the story can be rewarding if learned and applied to your life. Not in Seagal's top 5 movies but surely worth at least one viewing. I treat myself to multiple viewings because Steven Seagal can be seen differently than before. Definately give it a chance!
