The Patriot Reviews
Really enjoyable Seagal movie
I liked this movie overall - Steven Seagal proved that he doesn't have to just use his martial arts skills to hold your attention. He did a really good job and the environmental message was timely too. Add that together with the beautiful scenery, good plot, and you end up with a very good movie. The ONLY down side I found was the casting of Gailard Sartain as the militia leader. I just can't see how this could be believable to anyone who ever saw him standing in the Hee Haw "cornfield" telling dumb jokes. Everytime he was on the screen all I could think about was Hee Haw (and I wasn't even a regular viewer of that program - he's just very recognizable). Other than that, I enjoyed the movie a lot.
Good Segal Film
The Patriot has beautiful Montana scenery, a medical thriller plot, but not enough martial arts and hand-to-hand combat. The story was better than I expected it to be. It was similar to a Tom Clancy movie. But the action was minimal.
Steven Segal plays a retired CIA immunologist who has opened up a small practice in cattle country. He is a widower with a half-Native American daughter. A militia extremist infects himself with a deadly contagion. Segal must battle militia men to find a cure before the plague spreads.
Segal spends too much time peering into test tubes in this movie, and not enough time kicking ass. Also, his daughter acts like, "See how cute I am?"
The movie stresses the importance of protecting the environment.
