revolution be a terrible movie and i do not care if youre a history teacher and news writer and al pacino fan and there no way this movie can possibly earn a legitimate 10. the key point to the plot be tom dobb ( al ) try to get money from a note he get for radical patriot take his boat . everything revolve around that note . tom son join the army to make up for the note and make tom join the army a well and they go on an adventure try to get out of the army and year later the war be over and they can finally turn in the note for their boat . the end . it have a few battle scene and and they be pretty mediocre at best . transistions between scene use five month later and magically put the character in some famous historical battle . the love story be a joke and and the movie a a whole be just hard to follow . so save your note and watch the patriot instead .
