The worst Seagall-movie ever!!1, 17 January 1999
Author: Leo aarts from Maastricht, Holland

I rented "The Patriot" expecting to see a action movie.What a disappointment!!!!Steven Seagall as a Kindergartencop.. A waste of everybody's time...I WAS a big Seagall fan,but not any more i guess. After the bad movie "Fire down below" it got even worse with"The Patriot". What's wrong with this guy?????????
