Description:Supposedly a movie based on the true story of the Navajos who were used as radiomen during the Pacific campaign in WWII. But the story was told by focusing on a Marine who was assigned to protect one of the Navajos to keep him from falling into Japanese hands, even if it meant killing him. The Marine (Nicholas Cage) is haunted by the deaths of his buddies earlier in the war and instead of killing the Navajo during an attack, sacrifices his own life so the Navajo can live.
My Rating:6

Review - Windtalkers

I thought Nichola Cage's character in this movie was a total jerk. I found the two Navajo characters far more interesting and would have enjoyed a movie about them. This wasn't it. In addition, the action sequences were ludicrous.
