spectacular action sequences

Rating: 5/10 (16 April 2011)

this Second World War film directed by John Woo has it's good moments and it's not so good moments.the action sequences are spectacular.the acting is good,as well.what doesn't work so well are the dramatic moments.they really slow the momentum of the movie down.in some spots,it's downright tedious to get through.the film focuses on one battle during WWII in which Navajo Marines used their language as a radio code the Japanese could not break.another Marine would be assigned to protect the "code talker" at all costs.the movie is inspired by a true story,so how accurate it is,is anyone's guess.for me,Windtalkers is a 5/10
