Patton
Grade: A- 11/05/2008
This film is a tour de force by its star, George C. Scott. All I knew Scott from is DR. STRANGELOVE, and he all but completely stole that movie. As General Patton, Scott gives one of the finest performances ever. Patton is a man who loves battle, knows he is good at it, but is a bit odd in the head with his delusions of grandeur and beliefs of his own reincarnation. PATTON is an important history lesson and a real treat to see someone acting their ass off. Not only that....but he really reminded me of my late grandfather, so that helped.
