Windtalkers (2002)


God, this was so stupid. Nicholas Cage's career must have hit rock bottom when he did this movie. Actually, his career still sucks, eg. National Treasure, Wild Hogs. The dialog was retarded; every time Nick Cage opened his mouth it made him look progressively dumber. He was supposed to act war weary, but he appeared more like comatose. Cage even attempted a few lines of Japanese, which made me laugh.

Cage thinking about how much his movies suck.

I fast forwarded through the character dev because it was shallow and boring. Battle scenes looked fake. FAKE! Kids who watch this will have to be informed that field artillery does not have pinpoint accuracy on every shot as the movie portrays and that Nicholas Cage did not actually kill all 30,000 Japanese troops by himself. There is not one thing redeeming about this movie.
Oh yeah, and there were some Native Americans fighting for equality in this movie. Would you believe that because of that, some tribals are calling this a "breakthrough film"? That's retarded. I think there was also a love story in there that got buried by bad acting.

Rating: 33%
Don't Bother.

HOLY JESUS this was a bad movie. It really was almost a joke from John Woo to the audience.

Nicholas Cage is a bloody good actor! This film may not be his finest performance to date,or maybe it is just different.let us not forget what an incredible array of films he has to his name-gone in 60 seconds,family man...To make a film requires a lot of time and effort. whoever uses words like retard in reference to Mr Cages performance,well it doesnt even qualify for remarks.

right word,wrong target!

think about it
