A rare war drama that manages to mix both action-packed battle scenes along with strong character development - and do it well. George C. Scott's performance is pretty incredible, and he carries this biography of Gen. George Patton for nearly 3 hours. Yeah, that sounds like a long time, but the film moves along pretty well. There's a good supporting cast but the star of the show is Scott, who gives probably one of the best performances on film of the last 50 years.
