rjones611 Many people sh!tted on this film when it came out in 2012. But by the looks of it in 2018 it doesn't seem as far fetched anymore. I thought the character development was very well done. It had just the right amount of sadness as action. The acting is very believable. This film was actually shot in 2009. At the time America had a good president so the events of this film seemed ridiculous.

80skid Look its not as good as the 80s one. It's pretty hard to top that classic.But it's still a good movie. Sure there are a few dumb parts in it but overall its a good action movie.The only part i thought was lame was when his brother was shot.Besides that its worth watching.

gbodnovich First off, the teens act like the typical teens these days ( you know over privileged punks), Hemsworth plays the most convincing depiction of a veteran that springs to mind, tactics are sound and catches details even the best movies foul up. So happy not to have the heightened reactions you see in most movies and the only cliché lines are confined to one spot in the movie and done tongue in cheek. Although the motrads line I loved. What can I say, I'm huge Christopher Titus fan.The only part that strains suspension of disbelief is N. Korea being a capable military force. The few N. Korean troops with shoes, weapons, and food have had their joints destroyed in a few years from goose stepping and standing at attention 10-18 hrs at a time. Overall, I love the setting, the acting is done properly, they had to have a real veteran or three in the back ground to set the details right. "I miss Call of Duty" "Dude, we're living call of duty, and it sucks"

Python Hyena Red Dawn (2012): Dir: Dan Bradley / Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson, Adrienne Palicki, Isabel Lucas: Unbearably dull piece of dirt about the emerging of evil. Perhaps that can describe the fact the studios heaped this remake on us without a bit of warning of how bile it is. We have North Korean soldiers landing in America for a takeover that must have had even the biggest of comedians rolling in the aisles with laughter. Then we have Chris Hemsworth as a soldier returning from active duty who trains a group of snot nose kids who have all the believability of the characters in the Peanuts comics. After seeing their policeman father shot from a distance, they form a laughable group called the Wolverines. For the length of time it takes Hemsworth to train these idiots to fight like soldiers, I could have had a quick sh*t. None of this makes any sense and director Dan Bradley is no help either. We are subjected to action scenes that couldn't be any worse than if they were reenacted as a skit on Saturday Night Live. Hemsworth gives lame speeches about patriotism, while his brother, played by Josh Peck basically whines and pouts. The selfish brat rescues his chained girlfriend on a bus but doesn't seem to care about the other prisoners. Josh Hutcherson plays a wussy tech kid, and Adrienne Palicki plays Hemworth's new lady who trains really quick. Isabel Lucas plays Peck's girlfriend whom he risks his neck freeing while leaving everyone else on the bus. Easily one of the worst films of the year and it should be taken to a remote region, strapped to a bomb and blown up. Score: 1 / 10
