Review of Red Dawn (1984) by Jason B — 30 Oct 2012
Dated but still enjoyable action film, thanks to a solid cast of then very young actors and Milius direction, who doesn't shy from the brutality of war. The acting & action does go a bit over-the-top at times, and those who didn't grow up during the Cold War may be a bit lost (though is essential for the movie, which makes the upcoming remake which doesn't feature it make even less sense).
Nevertheless, solid action drama and a nice relic from the Cold War.
