RED DAWN (2012)

DAN BRADLEY

Plot

The citizens of Spokane, a small town in Washington State, awaken to the sight of North Korean paratroopers dropping from the sky. The U.S.A. has been invaded. Escaping capture, a group of young patriots - led by Jed Eckert seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganising themselves to become a guerrilla group of fighters, ‘The Wolverines’. A re-make of the original pre-brat packers 1980’s movie, this slice of jingoistic pap actually manages to be even more preposterous than the original. North Korea?.....really?!
