New movie list Red Dawn In Red Dawn, a city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky - shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerrilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom. -- (C) Official Site Release Date Red Dawn Nov 21, 2012 Wide | |

Review For Red Dawn |
It's Friday Night Lights territory, but without good writing or acting. Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine
Red Dawn suffers from a number of serious problems. The first, and most obvious, is that this is mini-series material compressed into a 95-minute movie. James Berardinelli-ReelViews
Take that, screaming North Koreans with no agenda! Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly
Preposterously insincere ... Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
John Milius's 1984 cult classic about American teens battling a Soviet invasion has been reinvented as a Tea Party wet dream that offers a scathing (if completely illogical) indictment of the federal government. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader
Hobbled by a laughably bad script and a uniformly uncharismatic cast. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
Unfortunately unexciting remake of the 1984 junk-culture cult classic about a bunch of American teens who fight back after America is invaded by Communists. Yes, Communists... This could have been fun. Jim Schembri-3AW
As idiotic as its inspiration, but it lacks the live-free-or-die integrity that 'Zen anarchist' John Milius brought to the original production. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Unfortunately, post-9/11, an invasion seems more plausible than it did in 1984. Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly
If your film choices are dictated by what is in the $2 pile at Blockbuster, I imagine this kind of easily justified pro-war sentiment would go down a treat, especially with a bottle of cheap whiskey. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat
This remake has none of the cultural currency of the original, nor its violence nor campy panache. It is a cowardly, irrelevant thing ... one of those really ill-advised remakes that should never have happened, but at least will be forgotten very quickly. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
Josh Peck is terribly miscast in this role and his character is so annoying, he almost made me root for North Korea. Kristian Harloff-Schmoes Know
It's an insult to an audience that is desperately trying to suspend disbelief. Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know
The Red Dawn remake is as needless a reboot as Hollywood can offer. Jeremy Wheeler-TV Guide's Movie Guide
Has enough patriotic fervor to draw in audiences once word of mouth gets around. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
The idea that this is not only a classic but that it justifies a remake is ludicrous at best. This was a movie that needed to be forgotten, not resurrected. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
...just another redundant contemporary remake... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Red Dawn is like the cinematic equivalent of burping and having some barf emerge at the back of your throat. You'll want to strap yourself into one of the vehicles with a car bomb attached to it just to get out of finishing the stupid thing. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
Wobbly and foundering or, as one young commando observes, 'We're living 'Call of Duty' - and it sucks!' Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
A ridiculous remake; it may be updated but it's not any smarter Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
Red Dawn isn't a particularly good film... but it is entertaining. As an exploitative remake of an exploitative flick from the 80s, it's still fun to watch. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
The back story of the making and release of Red Dawn is more interesting than the movie. Gary Wolcott-Tri-City Herald
If the North Koreans invaded and saw this movie, they'd probably just turn back. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Las Vegas Weekly
A mediocre substitute to playing Call Of Duty. Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto
It's an ill-conceived reworking of the 1984 film that changes the time and place but retains the laughably serious tone and gleefully preposterous plotting. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
