Windtalkers

I had the pleasure of seeing this movie tonight, and I must say that I enjoyed it. John Woo has come along well as a director, and Cage well as an actor. The action scenes were well done, and fun to watch. In fact, the way your introduced to Cages character should impress you.

Trust me, it was, shall I say, well done. (Everyone in the theater, including me, didn't see it coming.)

The movie was worth the cost of an evening showing ticket. I hope you go and see it.

Haven't seen it yet, however I did got see The Bourne Identity this weekend. That was a pretty cool flick.

Ya, it wasn't a bad movie. Not bad at all.

I haven't seen Windtalkers yet, but I intend to see it.
I first heard of the use of the Navaho language as a code in WWII in the 70's. IMO, that one idea was a bigger help to the war effort than any other.
Isn't it funny how a person may get a
Medal of Honor for a little bravery, but another one such as whoever first proposed this idea, will forever be nameless!
I wonder how many Japanese code breakers were punished for NOT breaking this code?

I saw Windtalkers on opening day... I am a fan of WWII, John Woo movies and Nick Cage, so I couldn't pass it up.

Overall, the movie was entertaining, and didn't waste time on a useless love story (Pearl Harbor anyone?). However, if you're into realism of weapons and historical accuracy, be prepared to shake your head more than once. I didn't know hand grenades created a huge, bright orange fireball with sparks!

Also, the music and use of slo-mo made me feel like I was watching an episode of The A-Team sometimes, but it wasn't too bad.
