Watch Red Dawn For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

7 is good ! Worth a watch Have to say the acting of stars was something u should appreciate!

Excellent overall. Cast is great. If I had let myself be influenced by negative reviews on this film I would of missed out on what non-fiction is about (enjoying make believe). I read the acting was not good and I though compared to what because Chris Hemsworth is not only a pleasure to watch but believable. Josh Peck, I didn't recognize from Drake and Josh TV series, it was good to see a different side of him and he was great here too. I can only speak for myself I'd watch a sequel.

Red dawn is entertaining if you keep in mind this is a fictional story along the lines of David and Goliath. Its about overcoming obstacles no matter how threatening or big they are. Not about why N.Korea invaded America. And the bonds of being in a team. If you are looking for a decent entertaining movie that has nothing to do with reality but more focuses on internal bonds and struggles, you should definitely watch this. If you are looking for a realistic action movie you rather skip this one.

Directed by Dan Bradley, Red Dawn is a remake of a 1980s war flick about a group of Colorado teenagers who hide up into the woods and form a guerrilla army to defend their town when it gets invaded by the Cuban and Soviet army. This time around, the main villains are the North Koreans. Set in Spokane, Washington, Chris Hemsworth plays Jeb, a U.S marine who returns home from active duty to watch his high school brother Matt (played by Josh Peck) play football. Matt is a nice guy who is dating a smoking hot cheerleader named Erica (played by Isabel Lucas). After facing a disappointing loss, Jeb and Matt meet up at a local restaurant with some old friends including Jeb's crush Toni (played by Adrianne Palicki), Robert (played by Josh Hutcherson), Daryl (played by Connor Cruise), and Danny (played by Edwin Hodge). Next morning, Jeb and Matt wake up to find their neighborhood being occupied by North Korean soldiers with thousand of paratroopers descending from the sky. Surrounded by neighbors being abducted by Korean troopers, the two brothers hop into their truck, along with their friends, and escape into a cabin deep into the woods where they meet a few other survivors including Greg (played by Julian Alcaratz), Julie (played by Alyssa Diaz), and eventually Lieutenant Colonol Andrew Tanner (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Upon discovering their own to be overrun the North Korean army, the team form their own army and begin waging guerrilla warfare against the North Koreans in attempt to save their town from invasion.I really enjoyed the 1984 original with Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Brad Savage, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, and Jennifer Grey. It was fun to watch and express a clever, if unrealistic, idea. This movie tries to reprint the same idea of the original film, but fails execute effectively. With its appealing cast of teen stars, this movie expresses an interesting idea, but butchers it with poor writing, lack of character development, and combat action scenes that are sadly not too exciting to watch. When the North Korean army first appears, viewers get filled with excitement and suspense to the point where the characters make their escape from all the mayhem. From there on out after this scene, the movie immediately stops becoming interesting. Nearly every character feels one-dimensional, and none of them are even memorable. Chris Hemsworth's character Jeb who is the main character isn't even very likable. In the original movie, Jeb, played by Patrick Swayze, was a tough, but loving older brother who just wanted to look after his little brother and his friends. Here, he's kind of a jerk, especially towards his brother. Then there are the active combat scenes which are rather boring and lack any sort of emotional investment. With the exceptions a few explosions, most of these scenes are not very exciting. Lastly, the film ending is way too abrupt as it ends in a way that will make viewers say "What?, that's it?". This is very disappointing, especially when the film only runs of 93 minutes, unlike the original film which lasted for almost two hours.Whether this film is a remake or something original, it is still quite a letdown. This movie had so much potential with its compelling idea and stellar cast, and it only manages to waste it on a poorly written script. This is quite disappointing, especially due since this film spent three years trying to be released.
