Editorial Review:
Hollywood action star Steven Seagal (EXECUTIVE DECISION, GLIMMER MAN) provides big-screen heroics in this exciting, nonstop hard-hitting thriller where every second counts! Dr. Wesley McClaren was the government's top immunologist before giving it all up for a quiet practice in a small Montana community. But the peace is abruptly shattered when a violent extremist group unleashes a rapidly spreading lethal biological agent and takes over the town! As more and more people die from a baffling illness, the edge-of-your-seat suspense only intensifies as McClaren races to outsmart the militia men and find a cure before the insidious disease spreads worldwide!
The Patriot Reviews:
The Patriot 
2009-05-15 - I really like this DVD. Steven Seagal is a man that speaks softly but carries a big stick. He's a quiet person but gets his point across.
i do not know I don't have it yet 
2009-05-14 - my review is going to be bad ,because they got my money and I have no DVD to watch
The Patriot 
2008-11-22 - I have been trying to find this for a log time because I think it is very good
The Patriot 
2008-08-06 - This order was never shipped to me. Although I had written 4 emails to the seller, I never received my order nor a reply to my emails. I had to file a claim with Amazon.com to receive a refund of the purchase price. However, I plan to get this movie somewhere else in the near future, as this is an excellent movie, I have rented it many times, and enjoy watching it each time. Thank you for your time.
Segal's First Direct To Video Release...Im Not Surprized 
2008-07-31 - Seagal was tempted once more to recreate "On Deadly Ground" It seems he really has a thing for being the environmental hero; and sure the intentions may be good, but the movies themselves aren't. This flick has the same feel of both "On Deadly Ground", and "Fire Down Below" only weaker. I mean Fire Down Below was a good excuse for the dreadful On Deadly Ground...why keep re visiting similar plots.
Seagal this time around plays Dr. Wesley McClaren, A local Doctor that is well respected in his town. Shortly in the film we are introduced to a Militia- Extremist; he and his men want to teach the government a lesson. The leader of the militia decides to use his body as a vessel for a biochemical disease. He ingests the disease, whoever gets in contact with him they will obviously get infected, and whoever gets in contact with the other infected...the will also get the disease, and etc. McClaren, who was once C.I.A operative, is called in to help investigate and find a cure to create a vaccine before more get infected. McClaren will do the impossible to find the cure and take down the enemy.
The idea of an "invisible" threat is good, but this movie doesn't feel like a movie for Seagal; it should have been given to someone else like Charles Bronson (who was alive at the time) also there really isn't any action in this movie; many complain about that, personally I think it was a good choice because the story doesn't really match with martial arts. one thing that for sure kills the movie is the resolution; after they find the cure (which are flowers) they spread the cure from helicopters all over the town...that's really frooty. I guess its ok to watch, but now own
MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 OUT OF 5
