Red Dawn

This is one of the most interesting movies to come out of the 80's. It is an important time capsule that all Americans should see.

It is a MOVIE. Forget politics and that nonsense. Cast is great in character, the cinematography is great (remember, made in the 80's). Story and screenplay is well, a story. But enjoyable, lots of action and some great twists.

Growing up in the 80’s in the United States our fear of war with Russia was real. While it wasn’t likely to occur as an invasion of the US like Red Dawn portrayed, it does capture alot of the sentiment of the time

You have to think of the times and the cold war when watching. Great movie but the people that don't have a clue likes rainbows and cotton candy.

Anyone saying how "implausible" the movie is is trying to set the events in modern times. This was considered a real possibility during the cold war. If you can't take into account the era in which a movie was made, you probably shouldn't review them.

Whaaaaat are y'al smoking?! This is at best a satirical comedy and at worst a serious project that failed miserably. From the outset the implausibility is simply too much (yes, I know!), and the giant plot gaps and insane assumptions are just moronic. Abysmally written, poorly acted, and directed by someone abusing HRT and cannabis (one assumes), it manages two stars instead of one because it is laughably bad, has a young good(!) cast, and would make a superb drinking game

Really enjoyed it, taking into account how old it is, it has held up very well. I didn’t even look at my phone which says a lot.

I've watched this movie too many times to count. Is it a masterpiece of acting? No. Its just a fun 80s action movie that alot of us daydreamed about. Look I know its weird, but a ton of people growing up had fantasies about defending the US from foreign invaders. Sure its not realistic, but its just a fun cheesy movie.

Ok a great romp somewhat silly,as if the USA could be caught asleep like this,,, oblivious to a threat of such magnitude and get it's ass kicked is hardly believable, sorry what's that somebody in the background Tora Tora Tora.

Ya know, I grew up with this movie and it always held it's status as a classic. Watching it with fresh eyes, it's a bit silly and drags in places, but it's still a great concept with an awesome cast.
