Mel Gibson's Revolutionary War drama depicting the campaign in South Carolina has been praised for the realistic detail of its major battle scenes, but criticized for exaggerating British war crimes while downplaying harsh guerilla tactics by the American patriots.
Among the DVD extras is a featurette on the painstaking efforts toward authenticity in production design, artillery, and costuming. Rated R for violence.
