I expected this to be a marginal remake of the original. To me, it was better. I expected one of today's action movies where the stunts were not realistic and the computer generated graphic special effects were a little unbelievable and cartoonish. There was none of this. I kept waiting for the gratuitous sex scene which never happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against sex, but if it doesn't contribute to the story, it is obviously there to attract the teenage boy audience. This movie had no sex or nudity. It didn't need to be in the movie and they actually kept it out! The language wasn't even as bad as some of the new relaxed standards on cable where they use B. S. every minute in awkward situations. There was a fair amount of cussing, but the language fit the scene. It didn't get thrown in there just for the sake of the words. The acting was very good from a cast of young people. The only think I didn't like (at all) was the use of the herky-jerky camera during some of the action scenes. When people are running, it looks like a five year old is chasing them with a camera. I'm sure some film school teaches this stuff as some type of realistic effect, but it doesn't do anything for me.
I recommend the new "Red Dawn".
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, no gratuitous sex, no nudity
Cons herky-jerky camera
Yes, I recommend this movie.
