Two U.S. Marines in World War II are assigned to protect Navajo Marines, who use their native language as an unbreakable radio cypher.
In the close quarters and brutal fighting of the World War II Pacific Theater, the U.S. Intelligence services desperately seek a fool-proof encryption code, immune to the code breakers of the Japanese. The answer is soon discovered in the ancient language of the Navajo. Enlisted into the Marine Corps are several "Windtalkers" who are deployed to frontline areas in the Pacific, to use their language as an impossible-to-crack secret code. A drawback, however, is that the U.S. military soon puts forth a directive that the Windtalkers must never be captured alive by the enemy, so additional Marines are assigned to make certain that this directive is carried out to the letter.
The movie advertises itself to be about Native American Navahos using their Navaho language as an unbreakable code in WWII. However, I didn&#39;t find the movie to be about that at all. There were a couple of &quot;Windtalker&quot; characters in the movie. But, they were just there as a plot point to give give Cage the excuse to have a mission of protecting the code… not the person, but the code. That means he can&#39;t let the &quot;Windtalkers&quot; fall into enemy hands at any cost. So, naturally, they immediately run the &quot;Windtalkers&quot; to the front lines where they run randomly around in circles while Cage follows along with a machine gun mowing down dozens of enemy soldiers at a time. And since they really want to protect the code, they do things like putting one of them in a Japanese uniform so he can walk right into the enemy camp… Of course cage goes along. Machine guns blaze, and Rambo, er rather Cage, racks up huge body counts mostly in slow motion. There is a tremendous amount of close up fighting. Lots of hand to hand combat, lots of hand gernades… and none of it seemed realistic to me. Apparently both the Japanese and US armies believed in having a few soldiers constantly yelling and running out into the open where they could be shot easily.<br/><br/>Did the US army really use the windtalkers on the front lines to give coordinates for artillery? Once they sent in the coordinates the shelling started almost immediately, what difference would it have made if they gave the coordinates in English? Maybe this is historically accurate, but I have a feeling the &quot;windtalkers&quot; were probably used more to coordinate the date of attacks, help coordinate meeting points, and probably not on the front lines fighting hand to hand. <br/><br/>I found the movie unrealistic, unentertaining, and unwatchable.
I liked some of John Woo&#39;s flick like Hard Target and Broken Arrow but I love Face/Off. However, I never seen The Killer and Hard Boiled, I&#39;ll have to try to find them and get them on DVD.<br/><br/>Anyway, my dad found this DVD when we were at Walmart in one of those $5 bins and he decided to get this movie. My sister first saw this movie a couple of years before me and she loved it. I thought, what the hell, see if it is good or not.<br/><br/>After seeing it, I believe that it is good as Face/Off, get cast, and brilliant direction, and wonderful music from James Horner.<br/><br/>It&#39;s different from the other John Woo movies and I was amazed that he didn&#39;t he usual style of action. He made this flick into a war movie without the two guns or any of that. I consider this one of John Woo&#39;s best movie to date. I hope he makes another American movie because I never saw any of his movies in theaters and it would be great to see one of his action films on the big screen.
Cage is superb as a hollowed-out, ferocious man of action chasing his demons recklessly with machine gun firing away.
During World War II, U.S. Marine Sergeants Joe Enders (<a href="/name/nm0000115/">Nicolas Cage</a>) and Pete &quot;Oz&quot; Anderson (<a href="/name/nm0000225/">Christian Slater</a>) are each assigned to protect two Navajo Indians, Privates Ben Yahzee (<a href="/name/nm0063440/">Adam Beach</a>) and Charlie Whitehorse (<a href="/name/nm0932194/">Roger Willie</a>) respectively, recruited for the sole purpose of using their native language in the western Pacific island of Saipan as an impossible-to-crack encryption code. In reality, however, it is the code Enders and Anderson are assigned to protect at all cost, not the code-talkers. Although the story presented in the film is fiction, it is based on hundreds of Native Americans, referred to as code talkers, who used their native languages to transmit impossible-to-crack coded messages during the first and second World Wars. Yahzee manages to get a message to the flyboys, giving them the coordinates of the Japanese artillery. As they attempt to make a run for safety, they are both hit with gunfire. Figuring that they are about to be either killed or captured, Yahzee turns Enders&#39; gun on himself and tells Enders to shoot him as ordered to protect the code, but Enders refuses. Instead, he carries Yahzee on his shoulders into the safety of a dugout. Suddenly, allied planes fly overhead and strike the Japanese shooting from the ridge. Yahzee notices the wound in Enders&#39; chest and tries to comfort him. Enders admits that he didn&#39;t want to shoot Charlie and begins to recite the &quot;Hail Mary&quot; as he dies. In the final scene, Yahzee and his family stand on the top of Point Mesa in Monument Valley. Yahzee places Enders&#39; dogtags around his son&#39;s neck and tells him what a &quot;brave warrior&quot; Enders was. As Yahzee recites a Navajo prayer in Enders&#39; honor, a text screen reads: &quot;The Navajo Code was vital in the victory at Saipan and every major battle in the Pacific. The code was never broken.&quot;
