Good Story

Rating: 7/10 (11 September 2012)

Nicholas Cage and Christian Slater star as sergeants during World War II, in a vastly underrated film directed by John Woo. Ben Yahzee and Charlie Whitehorse are Navajo Indians who are able to speak in code, which is use by the military to send secret messages that cannot be understood by the Japanese. The two first are in combat at Saipan, and under friendly fire their radio is destroyed. Yahzee pretends to be a Japanese soldier and goes across enemy lines and kills several of the opponents.
The American camp is attacked by the Japanese and as Whitehorse is abut to be captured, and he is killed by a fellow soldiers grenade in order to avoid being tortured for code secrets. Yahzee joins Enders(Cage) in another bloody battle, and they are both shot during the shootout. The ending is a bit too Hollywood, but the story is so interesting that I can recommend Windtalkers with a 7.5.
