    The subject matter is interesting, and the production values are solid enough — some of the scenes of 18th century warfare are really immersive and intense — but the script and the lead performances just aren’t up to the task. The letterboxd bio for the guy playing George…

    ALRIGHT ALREADY I GET IT THAT A PAWN CAN DEFEAT THE KING. You don’t need to repeat that on the nose line like five times. The actor playing Washington slips out of his accent a noticeable amount of times. Very run of the mill structure and I’m not a historian but it doesn’t…

    “Forgive the stir.” I don’t think I’ve ever watched a film where ambition felt this all consuming. Not ego. Not power. Ambition. The kind that drags a person through humiliation, failure, fear, impossible odds, and still whispers, keep going. History has always fascinated…

    7.5/10 I’m not really a history guy, but this movie honestly surprised me! Learning about Washington’s early years was interesting and the major battle scenes were really well done. All the actors did great jobs and there were some surprising big names.

    Not a huge history guy, so it was a little slow for me in the beginning that being said the last 20 minutes were pretty good

    Glad he never got his royal commission. Aren’t we lucky?

    think they should have picked someone other than Kelsey Grammar to play the role of Thomas Fairfax.
