Welcome to the home of the brave.
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.

Who are these children, what are their relationships with one another and why did they go from frightened civilians to dedicated (and trained) guerrilla soldiers over the course of one montage with no development character or otherwise? Genuinely though, _Red Dawn (2012)_ is a lot better than I was expecting, and I can honestly say I think I like the role of the adult US soldiers in this one more than I did in the…

Yes, it is that bad. You may start with low expectations, very low even, but even then, you'll be disappointed. I'll not go into details, not wasting more time on this turd. Even if you're into trashy movies - avoid this one.

A good movie. Cringey acting from Josh Peck but what do you expect when all he’s known for is Drake & Josh. He has some ways to go but this was a good step in the right direction. Solid remake with a few good originalities. Few nods to the old movie but good nonetheless.
