"Windtalkers" has it's share of problems: It doesn't bother to tell us more on the subject on which the story is based: The Navajo indian codetalkers who were a vital point for victory for the US in WW 2. Also the performance for lead Nicolas Cage was very subdued, and finally there are a few predictable cliches in this film. Most of the film is good, the battle scenes of which there are 5, are intensly shot and edited, and Director John Woo shows considerable skill while directing the action, it is obvious that drama is not Woo's field, but this film is a step in the right direction. This film could have been beter, but the decent acting and intense battle scenes make up for the slow parts. The performance byu co-star Adam Beach is more than a worthwile pefromance, he shows some serious acting chops here, I hope to see more of him in the future
