Windtalkers

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2010)

As much as people seem to hate this movie I always liked it. Was it as good as Saving Private Ryan? No. Or Full Metal Jacket? No. Was it even as good as Hambuger Hill not really, I would say about on the same level. Anyways, the main gripe I've heard about this movie is Nicholas Cage's performance as a self pitying Marine Corps. Sergeant. Although this is inarguable the low point of the movie, its realistic, if you think that there were not any soldiers like that then heres a rude wake up call, THERE WAS. My point is that not every war movie can be about people who were willing to lay down their lives and those of their men for their country. Also I've heard people complain about the amount of action, heres another wake up call, ITS WAR. While i agree that turning the character into a Rambo wasn't a good idea, you can't let the little things get in the way of a good movie.
