Awful!

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2002)

This was one of the worst movies we've seen in a long time. The best part was when the credits rolled and it was over. I can't particularly fault the acting, but the directing, writing, special effects, military advising, computer effects, editing, and judgment of the people who produced this movie were all incredibly faulty. (What was the point of the severed head? To make us forget how absolutely vile the movie itself was?) Perhaps they needed someone like Hal Moore to put his foot down about how to make a movie about the military. The movie wasn't even about the Windtalkers; instead it was about post-traumatic stress syndrome and guilt. I'd love to see something decent that tells the story of the Windtalkers, but this movie falls so short someone should force a name change.
