Review of Red Dawn (1984) by Jack Kroll for Newsweek — 14 Nov 2012
Another infantile right-wing fantasy from writer-director John Milius, this cinematic embodiment of the paranoid delusions of militarists, survivalists, and television evangelists is definitely a film for the Reagan era. Red Dawn is simply too.
Simplistic and inept to be taken seriously.
