Red Dawn (2012)
1/10
A film for which the entire concept of "spoilers" is irrelevant.
24 February 2020
If you can understand rudimentary stick men cartoons and have ever been amongst a group of six year olds pretending to fight a war with imaginary "dadadadadadah!" machine guns, then you need never watch this film.

If not, then by all means, watch without any plot issues being given away here.

For the still curious ( maybe Starship Troopers fans? ) I can say that;

i) the story is set up in the first three minutes.

II) there is some very dodgy voice-over narrative about half an hour in.

iii) there is an unforeseen and wholly lamentable 'pep talk' scene at commencement of the final reel action sequence.

iv) The pep talk also provides a desperately needed 'MacGuffin'.

-Why did this ever get made?

I can only imagine there was a redundant 'main street suburbia' film lot that needed demolishing before re-development and that some contractual obligations were long overdue to tie up.

Or perhaps the NRA has a tax-efficient youth film fund?
