Another winner from director John Woo!!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2002)

With such films as "Hard Boiled" and "The Killer," famous Hong Kong director John Woo has been called as the best action director because of his style of the films he uses. In 1993, Woo came to the U.S. to direct his first film, "Hard Target," starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. In 1996, he made "Broken Arrow," starring John Travolta and Christian Slater. In 1997, he made what is consider to be the best action film of all time, "Face/Off," starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. In 2000, he made "Mission: Impossible 2" (a.k.a. "M:I2"), starring Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton. Now it's 2002, and what's next for Woo? How about a WWII film about Navajo Codetalkers? And he did with his new "Windtalkers," reteaming Cage and Slater and co-starring Adam Beach, Frances O'Connor, Peter Stormare, Jason Issacs, Noah Emmerich, and Mark Ruffalo.
The story is about 2 soldier: Sergeant Joe Enders (Cage) and Ryan 'Ox' Anderson (Slater). Their mission: To protect 2 Navajo Codetalkers: Private Charles Whitehorse (Roger Willie) and Private Ben Yahzee (Beach). The problem: if any of the codetalkers get captures by the Japanese, they must destroy the codetalkers and the code.
While Woo, uses alot of explosions, slow-mos, stunts, and gunfights, the story was very good. All in all, another great John Woo film and another great War film. If action is your style and you like John Woo's films, then you'll love "Windtalkers."

A+ 13/13 ****** (out of ****** stars)
