Controversial, bloody 1980s WWIII film with teen heroes.

When it was released in late summer of 1984, it was a big hit, which shouldn't come as a surprise; this was the year when Reagan won the presidency in a landslide, and if nothing else, 'Red Dawn' plays like a Reaganite masturbatory fantasy.

See Red Dawn only when you're in the mood for a guilty pleasure

Red Dawn knows what it wants to say; it just has a hard time saying it, and too often it goes for the easy score instead of really delving into the possibilities of the scenario.

Guilty pleasure film that one day you'll have to explain to your grandkids.

Released in the midst of renewed Cold War nuclear dread, Red Dawn doesn't starve for unintended wackiness.

Good action flick and the first PG13 movie.

Certainly a silly Conservative leaning product of its decade, but one that still holds cache as a fun and exciting bit of escapism...

The notion that any enemy would concern itself with Red State real estate is only slightly less believable than the notion that beer-guzzling yahoos would ward off such invaders when in reality they would just get drunk and shoot off their own toes.
