Red Dawn

A few of the positive reviews for this film were probably written by real people... like 13 year old boys, and frustrated, wannabe soldiers who failed the IQ test.

The rest can only have been added here by a cubicle farm of movie studio marketing drones, who really earned their pay trying to think of good things to say about this sad, career-damaging waste of time.

Josh Peck is one of the all-time worst casting calls, and should become a cautionary tale amongst casting agents.

Agent 1: 'What do you think of this guy for the main character?'

Agent 2: 'Are you trying to 'Josh Peck' this film?'

He looks about 20 years older than his older brother, and even in the most dramatic scenes - has a mopey expression on his face that makes you want to slap him. All I can imagine is that he helped fund the film, because there's no other logical reason for him playing this part.

I would have liked to be in the screening room when they showed this to the studio head. There was probably a long silence when the curtain fell, as half a dozen people were fired by text.

I'm sure this movie shows more or less how it looked when US forces dropped in to say hello in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 30 year old teenagers in this movie throw out mercilessly sub par dialog like "This is not their land. This is our back yard and we're going to fight for it," or "they killed our father, we have to fight or die." I'm sure that's what they said in Fallujah too when good ol' George W. sent his invading army to destroy their country. Aaameeerica, Aaameeerrrrriiiicaa!! God save them all, they do make me laugh and cry at the same time.

Enough has already been said in previous reviews about the wildly idiotic plot and lazy directing. Rather get the 1984 version. At least it had some heart in it, though the plot was just as ludicrous, playing on the strange fear of communism America has always fostered.

One more thing! Modern movies (this one being no exception) way overuse the lazy technique of compressing together various sorts of character growth sequences into a few minutes. It's very annoying and shows a lack of skill on everyones part.

His character was so annoying, and his acting straight up sucks. This movie could have been better, without him in it.

Just by looking at him is annoying.

This is a thrilling film depicting an rebel group who comes to the rescue of the United States when a foreign army attempts to overtake entire nation by means a violent full-fledged invasion carried out by the ¨Korean enemy¨. The film contains action-packed, violence, crossfire, blow up and tensions build as the teens try to decide whether to surrender to the invaders or resist. This imagines about a Korean invasion of the American heartland by crack airbone troops . Is the dawn of World War III. There is a high school football player called Matt Eckert's (Josh Peck) who gets picked up by his girlfriend, Erica (Isabel Lucas), who's one of the cheerleaders in the school, and they go off to a party that night. While Tom (Brett Cullen) finds his returned son, US Marine Jed (Chris Hemsworth). From out of the sky, Korean troops begin landing in the United States. In a few seconds, the paratroopers have attacked the school and sent a group of teenagers fleeing into the mountains. They manage to pick up a few more people, including schoolmates Robert (Josh Hutcherson) and Daryl (Connor Cruise), as some other escapees follow them in another car. Armed only with hunting rifles, pistols, and bows and arrows, the teens struggle to survive the bitter winter and the military invaders . Patrols hunting for them. Eventually, trouble arises when they kill a group of soldiers on patrol in the highlands. In the west mountains of America, the group of teenagers band together to defend their town, and their country, from invading Korean forces. Soon they will wage their own guerrilla warfare against the invading Soviet troops under the banner of "Wolverines!". When Marines die, we go to hell and regroup!. This Thanksgiving, The Fight Begins At Dawn !. Welcome to the Home of the Brave !. In America, heroes aren't raised !. They're orphaned !.

Despite scrupulously reconstructed battles and partisan raids, it military thesis is patently ridiculous. Exciting , entertaining and moving movie about an absurd invasion for invasion US that threatens American economic prosperity . The picture concerns a dangerous international terrorist army trying to destroy United States via some continued series of terrorist operations . It's a pulp movie of political war genre ; resulting to be quite bemusing . The history deals with cruel Korean soldiers causing destruction and panic , versus American patriots who fight strongly to vanquish them.

This is a routine and passable actioner, stars Chris Hemsworth as U. S. Marine Jed Eckert, resulting go be one of the best roles he'd made to date , as he's nice as tough, cold, stubborn soldier. He's well accompanied by a good cast of young newcomers who'll follow decent film careers, such as: Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki, Isabel Lucas, Connor Cruise, Alyssa Diaz, Edwin Hodge, Will Yun Lee playing a nasty , ominous korean villain and veterans as Brett Cullen, Michael Beach and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

It's a predictable , shallow and brainless film though will appeal to warlike enthusiasts because of it contains some excellent action sequences . An agreeable and entertaining film, but the plot is almost ridiculous and senseless but it's developed in fast moving and numerous surprises and that's why it is amusing enough.

This paranoia-political-thriller movie has precedent in those films of the 50s and 60s in which take place fantastic invasion on America as ¨Sinister invasion or Invasion USA (1952)¨ by Alfred E Green and ¨Battle beneath the earth¨(1967) by Montomery Tully . The motion picture takes part of a genre which in the 80s achieved splendor, thus : ¨Red Dawn¨( by John Milius with Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe Tom Cruise) , US Invasion (by Joseph Zito with Chuck Norris) and ¨Amerika¨ ( by Donald Wyre with Kris Kristofferson) where the communists -Russkies generally- execute invasion on America.

The film was mediocrely shot by Don Bradley, without any originality, being his only film as a director . Bradley is a stuntsman and stunt coordinator who has worked in a lot of films. Bradley was originally cast as Jason Voorhees in Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part 1986), however after only a few days of shooting, he was replaced by C. J. Graham, some of his footage remains in the film, as he plays Jason during the paint balling sequence. Rating Red Dawn. 5/10 . Passable but mediocre reboot.

If you're thinking, hey wait a minute, how can the country with some of the worlds most malnorished troops, where middle class couples rent food for wedding photos, invade the us.

It's because the director couldn't use china, which was the invading country in the source material, which makes infinitely more sense, little bit ironic. Considering the premise of the movie.

XD.
