Director John Woo delivers explosive action and hard-hitting drama in this WWII epic. In 1942, Navajo Americans were recruited by the U.S. to use their native language as a secret military code. When embattled Marine Cage is assigned to guard a code talker (Beach), his orders are to “protect the code at all costs.”

TOP CRITICS'S REVIEWS
Fresh: Replete with Cage's finest angsty acting and John Woo's requisite concerns of friendship and rivalry in the face of violence.
-Daniel Etherington, Film4, September 19, 2008Rotten: A powerful premise turned into a stubbornly flat, derivative war movie.
-Robert Koehler, Variety, September 19, 2008Rotten: The energy and conviction of the action sequences don't quite compensate for Windtalkers' emotional cliches and historical heedlessness.
-Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine, September 19, 2008Rotten: The screenwriters struggle to integrate the coded transmissions with the action, and the flamboyant set piece battles feel like so much empty rhetoric.
