Believable?

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2002)

Seeing the previews you'd think this was actually rubbish. It looked like patronising Hollywood tripe.
In reality, it actually wasn't all that bad. Nicolas Cage was good -- but then isn't he always? -- and Christian Slater wasn't as annoying as he has been in the past.
Despite the fact that the concept sounds a little silly -- Navaho speaking radio operators that communicate in code to confuse the Japanese during WWII -- when you actually see this true story you do appreciate the contribution made to the war effort.
