Review

Director John Woos sensibilities have always run to the pulpy, comic book side of the cinematic equation, resulting in the yin of visually gripping, eye candy action sequences--and the yang of less than believable emotional content. Thats been fine when the material hes tackling is the sort of intense but flight-of-fancy fluff such as Face/Off (1997) and Mission: Impossible 2 (2000), but here Woo is depicting a subject of enormous historical, social and political importance to the world. Despite a noticeable restraint compared to his other work (the filmmaker clearly realizes that hes in somewhat uncharted territory here), Windtalkers (2002) is simply the wrong script for him. He carefully builds a quartet of protagonists with real-life fears and inner lives, then proceeds to turn them into full-fledged killing machine warriors, capable of piling up literally hundreds of enemy bodies to a man, his vision of American soldiers so skewed that its as if the film wanders from Saving Private Ryan (1998) territory into the realm of science fiction. It also doesnt help that many of the second-half locations are clearly southern California and not the tropical island setting theyre doubling for, or that the windtalking of the Navajo heroes is really a sideline to the character arc of Joe Enders Nicolas Cage, only peripherally involved in the code language activities that are supposedly the subject of the film. From The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) through Steel Helmet (1951) to Ryan, the best images of WWII have always been stark, raw and uncomfortably, even brutally real, but Windtalkers forgets that, presenting a graphic and exciting but, at times, absurdly phony Rambo-level vision of war that does its veterans and victims no great service by amping up their heroics to superhero level. The audience is more than aware by now that the participants in these battles were all quite heroic enough without Woos help. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

2.0étoiles sur 5 Great idea, inept movie, Mai 18 2004
Par M. Veiluva "sputnik99" (Walnut Creek, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Windtalkers (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
The premise of "Windtalkers" is actually quite good, and loosly based upon actual WW2 history. What's true is that the US Marines did use Navaho speakers to code messages in the Pacific theater of action. The second premise of the movie, namely that they were assigned individual guardians (in this movie, Nicholas Cage and Christian Slater) to kill them if they were being captured, I'm not so sure about. I guess, as John Woo has it, that's why if there was a battle, these guys were right in front begging to be captured.

The movie starts out with a nice idea, but is utterly destroyed by the movie's lack of realism and unimaginitive plot, which buries the two Native Americans in a stunningly shallow film in which they are seconds. As best I can tell, Hollywood has decided that war movies fall into one of two categories: Private-Ryan realism or "Pearl Harbor" shazaam-special effects. "Windtalkers" plants itself firmly in the latter category - a Pearl Harbor with Marines.

Granades go of like miniature A-bombs, with big all consuming fireballs (which, of course, Marines get to outrun). Aircraft are cheezy digital things that fly like Starcraft space fighters. Uniforms are all wrong. The Japanese stupidly charge into our waiting guns. When people got shot, I thought of "Kill Bill"- you'll know what I mean. But that was camp and this is supposed to be serious.

We don't even get to like Nicholas Cage, a fine actor who has nothing to do but act anguished all the time (compare his nuanced performance in "Matchstick Men") and charge Japanese bunkers with his Thompson, which never misses and never runs out of ammunition, repeatedly like some faux-John Wayne. The two Navaho characters are noble and handled like wooden dolls.

The outdoor scenes look implausibly like the north coast of Kauai or the hills near Ventura - not Saipan. When the Marines storm a Saipan village, the villagers, apparently oblivious to the war up to that point, are still trotting about doing their village things. What did the Japanese extras think when they were doing this film? Or when one of the Navaho characters puts on a Japanese helment and sneaks behind the lines because he "looks Japanese?" We had better ideas than this on out 5th grade playground.

Parents: The movie is rated "R" for violence, and some language (one half hour of the Dave Chappelle show will bury this one). The violence is so comic-book that anyone over 11 can deal with it. To my surprise, my teenagers declared the movie incompetent after twenty minutes and returned to their homework.

2.0étoiles sur 5 emotional, but lacking, Jui 30 2004
This review is from: Windtalkers (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
i admit, it made me cry - but what ever happened to the lady nurse who helped Joe Enders pass his hearing test in order to be able to go back to war, and was writing him all the time? the characters are static, though the Navajos are slightly more dynamic; there was little background info. too much bombs and shooting throughout, and i especially did not like the melodramatic part when Enders killed Whitehorse along with the Japs and then told Yahzee,"I killed him. I threw a bomb and blew him up," acting so sarcastic, wanting to provoke and die. finally, the code language should have been featured more.

2.0étoiles sur 5 ful of stereotypes!, Jui 22 2004
Par Vahania63 (Michigan United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Windtalkers (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
It is a well done typicall Hollywood movie but I have seen all this so many times. Everything is so predictable. The movie with such great actors as Nicolas Cage and Christian Slater doesn't have any material for them to work with. I was shocked that such inventive director as John Woo could make such lame movie. Not recommended.
