Steven B Dec 8 This movie was a potent of a possible future. One that we can find amusing now,BUT look at the Muslim takeover of actual British city's and then look at a few states in America and a few [ so far] city's. I liked the movie,acting was not the best,but all the stars are,and stated so. I see most who did not like this movie as extreme liberals.

The plot and writing did nothing to help and the directing was quite possibly the worst of all three.

The film is based on the classic of the same name released in 1984 during the height of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union. I saw that movie in theatres and while it hasn't aged well over the years it was excellent at the time. This new version has the North Korean Army invading the continental United States. Oh boy. The US has the largest and most modern navy and air force in the world while North Korea has older and smaller coastal ships and virtually no transport aircraft; suspension of disbelief indeed. Anyway it was supposed to be China invading the US but the producers wanted to release it there so changed the aggressor to N Korea, which made the movie even dumber. The acting was bad, the plot was bad, the action was bad, the film was bad. Skip this remake and go watch the original again.

Still, it all ends up being utterly frustrating, given that it's late post-production changes to switch the aggressors from China to North Korea in order to gain access to the Chinese box office, which this film ultimately failed to do. It is a foolish, ill-considered undertaking, too confused and too muddled to be either a love-letter to the militia movement or an indictment of putting guns in the hands of kids, and without any specific point of view or focus to its storytelling, it just doesn't work. A straightforward action fare that never asks any questions beyond where the next round of ammunition is coming from, the film is filled with corny speeches and uncharismatic, stilted performances by a cast who are more than capable of so much better; there's not one iota of dynamism to this dull action fodder. It's as impotent as Milius' original was ballsy, and despite a brief running time and passable action, it ends up a frustratingly pointless experience. At best, Red Dawn is the cinematic equivalent of a voting-day robocall to people vulnerable to nail-biting, apocalyptic paranoia. The doltish, messy and frequently incoherent result bears all the hallmarks of a botched and compromised endeavour. Even as a fantasy-actioner, it's too cartoonish to embrace and too dangerous to indulge. See more Read all reviews
