Summary
It’s Big Mel; he’s back… and this time it’s not Scotland, it’s America he saves. Hailing from 2000, the Roland Emmerich’s directed The Patriot hits our eyes - and boy, at 2 hours 45 mins, does it hit. The factual history is all over the shop… but is this actually watchable? Find out, Joe and Adam get waylaid by Andrew Garfield (Good Choice/Bad Choice), and they muse for far too long about Big Mel macking on his dead wife’s sister. It’s an epic chat, fitting for an epic movie. Got a film you forgot you forgot?
