Poor movie

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2005)

The story is one that needs to be told, but why do it with crappy acting and writing? It was painful to watch at times and the only things that saved it from totally sucking in my opinion was that the action sequences were decent and the underlying story is really intriguing. Nicholas Cage is definitely not at his best (not that he is that great of an actor anyway) and I feel that Christian Slater did a good job as another "escort" for the Navajo Codetalkers. The men that play the Navajo Codetalkers are pretty bad actors though one has a sweet knife scene. All in all, decent movie that was doomed for mediocrity due to bad writing and acting.
