Review of 71: Into the Fire (2010) by Christopher B — 09 Mar 2011

I kinda hate war films. When this started, sure I was impressed with the action setpieces but I dreaded watching a movie filled with staged battle sequences. However, after the first battle it focuses on the students who are left in charge of guarding a military base at a high school.

From there it gets very involving. I also loved the portrayal of the main antagonist from North Korea, it was admirable that such a patriotic film never painted him out to be a complete shitheel.
