Great movie and shows how the Navajo helped us and don’t really get credit for that.
War is messy, but staying together can make your team better
Seen it a few times now. Still one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Keep going back to it and still impressed. Cage is weak in this.
Not the best war movie but does provide an interesting story and good action.
Has intense battle scenes, but the story is predictable and the characters feel underdeveloped.
Great Story about a fascinating piece of history but this was a little long for me
A fascinating and intense story. Cage really is incredible in this role. Action packed and ridiculously tense at times. Amazing movie.
Cool story and decent acting. Not bad for a war movie.
An important story to tell in American history and a decent movie, but I wish it had centered others as well as it did Cage's character.
Not terrible but it wasn’t filmed well for a WWII movie. A different director for this type of film would have made it much better.
