Most of what people remember about General George S Patton comes from them having seen George C. Scott’s Oscar-winning performance in the 1970 epic movie directed by Franklin Schaffner. Good as that movie is, it pales in comparison to this intelligent and thought-provoking study of the man and his work as a general during World War II. Using a combination of historical footage and state-of-the-art recreation graphics, Patton 360 lives up to its title and gives viewers a complete picture of the man, the myth, the legend and the reality of “Old Blood and Guts.”
