Revolution (1985) Reviews

Member Rating:

This period drama about the American Revolution has an overlay of rhetoric that thwarts the action, flattening out the story about a man and his loved ones caught up in the events of the time. Tom Dobb (Al Pacino) falls in love with Daisy McConnahay (Nastassja Kinski), an aristocrat who deserts her class to fight alongside the rebels. Tom teaches his son Ned (Dexter Fletcher) everything he needs to learn, though the growing rebellion consumes most of his attention. Eventually, the Redcoats are mowed down in large battle scenes, as the ragtag Colonialists go to war. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Visually--it's awesome. The entire production design is top notch. Photography, art direction, and battle scenes, recreating the era better than any film I've ever seen. The Bad news: Pacino and Kinski are miscast, and the characters are so underwritten, that the end result is a misfire. Still worth it for history buffs.
