I recently viewed the above DVD and I want to give a 2 "thumbs up" rating for what may be a low budget film, yet is packed with excellent fight scenes.

This DVD covers the surprise attack that Washinton (played by Jeff Dainels) made on Dec 25th 1776 on Trenton. Washington is portrayed as he really was, incredible feisty and determined. He had 2,400 cold, poorly clothed and equipped men. The 1,400 Hessions at Trenton were commanded by Colonel Johann Gottlieb Rall.

This battle shows some use of cold steel in very tight quarters and it's an eye-opener for sure. [:0] The Continentals lost only 4 killed and 8 wounded while the Hessians lost 22 killed and 918 captured. [^] 500 escaped. [:(!]

Bottom line: YOU GOTTA SEE THIS ONE!!!
