I thought this would be a great movie

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2004)

I looked forward to seeing this movie from the first preview I saw. I liked Adam Beach so much in "Smoke Signals," and I looked forward to seeing him in a good historical rendition of a very important part of our American and Native American history. Unfortunately, Hollywood got it wrong, as always. They completely lost focus of the incredible service the Code Talkers served in winning the war, and completely turned the impetus of the movie to the white man. If I never see another shot of Nicholas Cage pretending to be in anguish, it'll be too soon. Incredibly, the filmmakers didn't even bother to detail how the Code Talkers came to have such an important role in the war. I have rarely been so disappointed in a movie. I was actually disappointed that Adam Beach went ahead and made the movie, in light of how badly the filmmakers screwed it up.
