Real "wind talkers" shortchanged

Rating: 2/10 (29 November 2005)

More than 20 years ago a WW II vet told me about the Navajo code talkers (not wind talkers). When the movie came out, it was advertised as being about the Navajo code talkers.
After watching a little over half the movie on video, I shut it off. It was basically Nick Cage being a one man army, fighting the whole Jap army alone. At least that's how it felt. Seems every seen was Cage running through a battle area shooting Japs left and right.
If the movie had been released under a different title, it may not have been as bad. Because it was advertised a the story of the "wind talkers", it was very disappointing to find it just another war movie.
It's a wonder the Navajo nation didn't go on the war path against this one.
