Yeah, I'll go with Windtalkers, too. It's an almost unbearable bundle of war and sentimental “outsider faces bigotry and triumphs” movie clichés. The various battlefield scenes are totally interchangeable as they all feature the explosion (one body flies right, one left), the tank blowing up, a stunt man on fire, and a line of Japanese soldiers running over the crest of a hill and all being shot down with one burst from Nicolas Cage’s machine gun. In between action scenes, we are faced with these burning questions: Will the army platoon learn to respect the Navajo code talkers? Oh, come on! Will there be a Southern bigot who will not be convinced? Shut up. Will one of the Navajo save the bigot’s life? Git outta town. John Woo's worst. 3/10
