Rating:
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 guerilla 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.

Red Dawn is a campy, B-movie remake of a campy, 80's B-movie. The effects and action are solid, the story is brisk and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Chris Hemsworth brings much needed life to a cast of young actors offering underwhelming performances, which is the biggest detriment to an otherwise enjoyable film.
