Portland Oregonian -
Cage is superb as a hollowed-out, ferocious man of action chasing his demons recklessly with machine gun firing away.

|
The A.V. Club -
Well matched both to the material and each other, Cage and Beach capture Windtalkers' true struggle, the fight to hold on to values like honor, friendship, and tenderness in an environment that demands otherwise. This is as much a Woo trademark as the carefully orchestrated gunplay.

Baltimore Sun -
Woo's antiwar intentions and his talent are at odds. In Windtalkers, war is a beautiful hell.

New Times (L.A.) -
The over-the-top sincerity that is so rewarding in "Face/Off" (1998), Woo's best American film, feels too clichéd in this more conventional context.

Los Angeles Times -
Not all it might have been, an oddly old-fashioned film from a director who's usually anything but.
