Remember how I said that audiences loved World War II movies? I guess I was wrong, because this specific World War II movie bombed in the box office and had bad reviews. It stars Nicholas Cage as a traumatized soldier ordered to protect a Navajo soldier. It was directed by John Woo who has directed some of the most iconic action movies ever made, but his American films have always been hit or miss. Mostly miss. He has a keen eye for action, but his stories often fall into cheesy territory.
The movie cost one hundred and fifteen million dollars to make, but it only brought in forty million dollars. Once you factor in other things like promotion, the movie lost anywhere between $103-110 million dollars. Wind talks, but money talks much louder. See what I did there?
