A Joke?!!!

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2008)

I'm sorry but the user comment on the main page is FAR too lenient on what can only be described as THE WORST WAR MOVIE OF ALL TIME.
On the surface what seems an interesting and compelling story about Navajo's in WW2 is what probably caused many people to buy it in curiosity.Indeed, the special edition version, I concede, would be appealing to even the most seasoned movie-goer. Yet, those that have bought this, I'm sure, will have regretted it moments after sticking the DVD in their machine.
The action sequences are a a joke to the extent that John Woo has invented new laws of physics in terms of combustion and gravity. For example grenades are like mini nukes (except of course when they are in the vicinity of US soldiers) and bodies fly further away and more ridiculously than a rag doll in a hurricane. Moreover, the storyline is completely compromised by the terrible acting & script which leaves you with the impression that this was more of an action comedy than stirring war epic.
If I had one word of advice to give to any prospective buyers (even renters) out there, only take this movie if given - and when you do BURN IT SATISFYINGLY IN A PAN!
