Viewing this has become a 4th of July tradition at my house (the same for ET at Halloween). Gibson is believable as a father and reluctant warrior. The story is dynamic: ranging from very clever escape plans and a budding love interest to the horrors that can happen when war is in your back yard. This is an all-around masterpiece with a meaningful story behind it.

Excellent movie. While 'based' on a true story, the makers always take 'liberties' (no pun inteneded) with the facts. However this character is based on 5 men, not just one. The main real life man Gibson's character was based upon was Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion. Not so much his personal life at all, but the way he brought a new - and effective - way of fighting wars. Look up more if you find that interesting.
I just saw another movie at the theater yesterday - again based on real life person - that reminded quite a bit of this story. From Wikipedia: "Free State of Jones is a 2016 American war film inspired by the life of Newton Knight and his armed rebellion against the Confederacy in Jones County, Mississippi, during the American Civil War. Written and directed by Gary Ross, the film stars Matthew McConaughey".
Very similar in nature these two (in my opinion - great) men.

Francis Marion--the original Swamp Fox--would have enjoyed it. Gibson is nearly perfect in the role. The portrayal of the Brits is, I think, a bit brutal--but it works. Heath Ledger brings the required youth and naivete to the part. I have watched this many times and enjoy it every time.

I believe this movie is great at showing our allies with the French, the horror of war, and the differences between Oatriots and Loyalists during the Revolutionary Period.

I love this movie, and consider it among my favorites. With Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger against such other great actors as Jason Issacs, I always enjoy this movie.

Great movie, it's a piece of history in the South during the revolutionary war. The story is based on life in the Charleston SC area during the war.
