What's lacking in this heartfelt, well-researched, sporadically interesting movie is a master plan.
Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times
Overview
New York trapper Tom Dobb becomes an unwilling participant in the American Revolution after his son Ned is drafted into the Army by the villainous Sergeant Major Peasy.

Either as unintentional parody or truncated epic, you can start this Revolution without me.

[A] solemn, incoherent, brown film.

Watching Revolution is a little like visiting a museum -- it looks good without really being alive.

An almost inconceivable disaster.
