Worst War movie I have seen

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2002)

Maybe I am spoiled.... I have seen some great war movies, Saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down, The Patriot.. This movie is not one of them, In fact it is the worse movie I have seen this year. From the opening sequence, the movie sets you far away from any feelings you would have with the actors. The story could have been great, however, John Woo, loves to blow things up in Massive proportions, and sways away from what could have been a great movie. Nick Cage, overacts, like usual, and normally has a gritted teeth, look of anger in his face the whole movie. Weak flashbacks, and a sad script. The movie was very unbelievable. I fail to imagine that a bomb could cause less of an explosion then a hand held rocket launcher, and that the Japanese, in close combat ran at the soldiers with their bayonets, not firing, just waiting to be shot at. Also the accuracy of the cannons was unbelievable, when given the locations by the Windtalkers. The movie seemed to be more about Nick Cage, and his "hate" then of the Windtalkers... The movie was very bad, don't waste your money...
