An OK WWII film but tries too hard to be like other great WWII films

Rating: 6/10 (29 September 2004)

Windtalkers is a decent WWII film brought by a good director John Woo. Slight it's many clichés it actually entertains me a little bit due to the fact that it got a little to out of hand. This movie needs tons of energy though, the dialouge and the acting weren't very good in this movie. I was a little upset due to the fact that Nicolas Cage disappointed me in his acting in this film. He's usually good in his films but he didn't bear with me on this one. The action was good though, I didn't see any bad mistakes in it besides some old footage that tried to make it look cool wasn't very good but the action was really good. Overall, this movie was decent. Could've been a lot better but it was entertaining.
Hedeen's outlook: 6/10 ** C-
