...because it was NOT about Navajo codetalkers. I read the book "Codetalkers" which was wonderful. The movie completely disrespects them by not featuring them.
shareYes. They never really did anything important in the movie. Called in an artillery strike - whoop de doo.
shareThen you missed the big musical number in the second half of the film. Breathtaking.
shareim surprised you got half way, ive made it a third twice in a month lol
sharewatched the ENTIRE thing . ...John Woo cant make a bad film, EVER.
one of the original code talkers passed recently...
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – Allen Dale June, one of the 29 original Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, has died. He was 91.
June died of natural causes Wednesday night at a veterans hospital in Prescott, his wife, Virginia, told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The last X-Files episode from season 2 the touched on the Code Talkers, Anazazi, and the continuing story arc of them in the first two episodes from season 3, The Blessing Way and Paper Clip, where way superior to this movie.
shareIt's a GOOD film that he can't make...EVER. This movie is *beep* on so many levels, not the least of which is that the movie was not about code talkers. John Woo apparently thinks that if you spend enough on exsplosives you can spend next to nothing on writers.

Amen!
Agreed, he is! This movie wasn't that bad, I thought Cage, Slater, Ruffalo and others were quite good. The biggest criticism I hear from this film is Beach's performance and the explosions. Beach wasn't that bad, his character became a bit annoying after Cage told him what he did but I thought he was okay in the film.
