Maybe the American makers of this film thought that nobody outside of the US would give a monkey's toss about the American Independence - and they'd be right - but it somehow managed to make it to other countries anyway, including that little EVIL place called Britain.
Mel Gibson continues his crusade to devour anything and everything to do with the British Empire and takes it upon himself - literally by himself by the way - to gain America's independence. If you're expecting great action sequences here, be warned that they are all in slow-mo with Gibson charging around the battlefield like an idiot, looking all brave and stuff. At one point he even stabs the BAD English colonel's horse with the American flag - I kid you not!
More evidence, as if it were needed, as to how pathetic this film actually is, comes with the casting of pretty boy Keith Sledger in the "heroic" role of Gibson's son - easily the single most annoying character ever to grace a war film.
One saving grace is Jason Isaacs - brilliant in his role.
Terrible film, of which there is no justification. 0/10
