Having sat through more than an hour of Red Dawn I
was hoping the Russians would take mercy on us and nuke the
whole country because - despite a good cast of soon-to-be-big-name
actors - this is sheer tripe.
Who, in their right minds, would invade a country of 250
million people - who between them have about 1 billion guns?
Who, in their right minds, would believe schoolkids could
fight trained soldiers?
And who, in their right minds, would agree to be a part of
this ridiculous make believe?
Well, Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Powers Boothe, C. Thomas
Howell, Lea Thompson and ... (horrors) ... Harry Dean Stanton
(sob).
Unfortunately, the Wolverines started to kick Russkie ass
and dragged the whole thing on for almost two hours.
The plot is too far-fetched for words, the script is horrible
and only Harry (how could you do this, Harry?) Stanton comes
out with any acting cred as the doomed father who orders his
lads not to cry and just avenge him.
The landscapes are nice, but other than that, there is nothing
to recommend this to anyone other than cretins.
Why did they bother?
Conclusion: Movie 40%, Extras 20%
