Not bad, but typical Political Correctness

Rating: 6/10 (27 June 2002)

I just saw this film on Monday evening. On the whole it wasn't bad, but it was very predictable. ***Possible Spoilers***
Of course there had to be a racist scene by a southern Marine (of course he would have to be southern) Just like the horrible "Dances With Wolves" the Indians had to be portrayed as somehow more noble than their white brothers. BS! Red, White, Black, or Yellow, there is no such thing as a noble race. All are capable of the utmost nobility or the most unspeakable evil. That being said, I was pleased to see a movie depicting the Navaho's contribution to WW II. The combat sequences were decent, but had way too much "fire". All of the action was predicable, however. For instance, when the camera focused on the Marine's feet, I knew instantly a mine field was coming and sure enough it did...I could go on and on...final analysis, see the movie, but wait for the video.
