Remember Marine, ours is not to question why, ours is but to do or die. Semper Fi. Over

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2014)

John Woo (The Killer, Hard Boiled) has finally made "A John Woo Movie" in Hollywood. Finally, hyper-kinetic action and overwrought crises of friendship and conscience in a Hollywood movie.
Nicolas Cage's Sergeant Enders has a Navajo code talker to protect and kill, if necessary. Cage's vet is bitter, ferocious and merciless and some of the violence is truly sickening. Just as it should be.
The Marines are not perfect. Some are damaged, one is racist, and there is friendly fire.
Adam Beach (Flags of Our Fathers) does a good job as Private Ben Yahzee, the code-talker Enders has to protect.
Absolutely superlative stunt work.
