I cannot begin to explain just how REAL this film feels when you watch it. The characters seem to resemble people that all of us, at some stage or another, has met in our lives. How many people out there can say that they have never met a guy like Charlie or a big hearted guy like Mikey? Burns is proving himself as a writer and director, I hope he was proud of this piece. The script is believable and the scenery is exactly what most of us step out from our homes into! There is some great acting from Jon Bon Jovi, nice to see he's proving his critics wrong! This is a very moving and unforgettable movie, proving to me that mistakes make a man what he is.

To all you out there who keep bad mouthing this movie for its historical inaccuracies please please will you wake up from your not-so-peaceful dream world and realize that this is just a movie, a great one at that! Who cares if it is inaccurate, it is an enjoyable and emotional watch that I will watch again and again. I am English and I don't have a chip on my shoulder about the way we were portrayed. One last note, it was the American against the Brits, not just the English, so get your historical facts right! (And catch my last Patriot review back in August!)

This film is exactly what everyone said it was, an Armageddon hybrid. Great special effects, great actors - fantastic cast list of Clint Eastwood and Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner and Donald Sutherland. This film is great for any day or night out, it has everything any film enthusiast could wish for, a great story line, great actors, mind blowing effects, humour and a gentle touch of sadness. Definately a movie not to be missed.
