I never really was much of a Richard Dreyfus fan… But lately I've seen a few things and listen to a few things that make me think I've totally missed the boat on the guy. This is definitely one of them… He manages to turn Benedict Arnold into an oddly sympathetic character. You still get that Arnold was a scoundrel and earned his infamy, but Dreyfus humanizes him and a peculiar and endearing way.

Also… You can't beat Charles Durning as George Washington. That's worth the cost of admission right there.
