it is definitely a must see. Gets kinda hockey and predictable, but story line aside, it was one of the more amazing things done in the war and brought it to the attention to the non-military history public.

Worth a rental just to say you've seen it. I certainly wouldn't puchase it.
Within the first 5 minutes, they'd lost me by showing a 50 star flag flying over the hospital where Nick Cage was recovering. The SPFX, especially the aircraft were way too obvious as CG. There's not really a lot of focus on the Navahos and their work, they're more of a backstory for Nick Cage's character.

I agree with Al too - too much on Nick Cage and not enough on the Navahos. That brought down the movie for me too. I was looking forward to seeing it when it came out though...
