Review of The Patriot

The Patriot (1998)
1/10
Seagal's first movie not released in cinema's
23 August 2013
This movie wasn't released in cinemas . It went straight to video/DVD . Wise move , because the movie SUCKS . Also , it was kinda a prophecy for Seagal , because now he keeps making only straight-to-DVD crap. This is third movie in Seagal's ecologic trilogy ("On deadly ground" and "Fire down below" are the other two).

This is more of a thriller , where Seagal plays a doctor (sic!). The movie is based on book , but I've never read the book , so I don't know how faithful it is to the book. Anyway , the plot is filled with terrible stupidity and not too much of action . Seagal's tries to act . "Tries" is the right word. Unless you can count his smile as an acting ability. The movie is quite nicely photographed by the same guy , who worked on "Dancing with the wolves". This is the best thing about this movie.

If you like good thriller go somewhere else. If you like action go somewhere else . If you like Seagal he had better movies . I give it 1/10.
