I thought this was about the wind talkers of WWII in the pacific, but it's not. In short, Nicholas Cage jumps in front of every offensive like Rambo, kills twenty Japanese soldiers each time with a hand gun (when he wasn't using the tommy gun, that was actually a nice touch for a marine)and then relays the coordinates to the Navajo coder and the whole place gets blown by artillery, period.
Totally inaccurate war movie, lousy editing, lousy photography (if any), explosions in the whole movie are a joke, everything blows like a ton a TNT and 100 gallons of gasoline, grenades set men on fire and blow up tanks, bullets hitting on the ground raise 10 pounds of dirt, CGI planes look totally fake, for crying' out loud they didn't even clean the historical footage of the ships firing artillery to look like they belong in the movie... shameful. Every one dies in slow-motion, there's several slow-mo shots were stunt men act like being shot not having a single bullet mark on them, i could go on forever... It really looks like they spent 80% of the movie in pyrotechnics and rushed the rest. A-W-F-U-L!
John Woo is a good director in his genre but was totally wrong for directing this movie, WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!!! And the whole story... shame on who wrote the screenplay!!! This could have been good but it was totally ruined! I'll give this a * and YES I will hit my toe with a sledge hammer before i see this again!
