On those terms, the film is engrossing and sufficiently intelligent, especially when militia leader Benjamin Martin Mel Gibson cagily negotiates with British General Cornwallis Tom Wilkinson in one of the most rewarding scenes. For the most part, the story concerns Martin's anguished quest for revenge against ruthless redcoat Colonel Tavington played with snide relish by Jason Isaacs , and the rise to manhood of Martin's eldest son, Gabriel Heath Ledger , whose battlefield honor exceeds even that of his brutally volatile father.
