Rating: - Doesn't Call For Flag-Waving
"The Patriot" is a bit of an odd vehicle for Steven Seagal...
While it's not nearly his worst movie ever, you'd be hard-pressed to find somebody who would include it in a top-ten list.
Loosely based on a novel by William Heine, the plot features Seagal - as a Montana doctor and a supposed patriot - attempting to reverse the actions of a right-wing militia, which has let loose a deadly biological agent on Seagal's hometown.

Rating: - thought it was a great movie
I thought it was wonderful to see seagal in a different type of movie. It got his message across, It had a little bit of everything in it ,not JUST action.

Rating: - Action Thriller
A great Segal movie. He takes care of a rpoblem no one else wants to try to.
Rating: - Middle of the road.
This is the beginning of Seagal's direct to cable, dvd, etc. career.
It's not nearly one of his best works, but by all means not the worst either. I am a diehard seagal fan and will watch anything he puts out, but for the average action movie fan, I would only recommend this one if you're satisfied with a middle of the road entry in the genre.
