After watching the movie I really felt nothing when I got out of the cinema which is something that rarely happened to me.
Red Dawn (2012) is highly unlogical, unrealistic. Some good action scenes though but none where you feel to root for the American kid fighters, which one could expect when watching the trailers. This might be due to the fact that there are absolutely no good actors which could have made at least something out of the storyline.
Also the "emotional" speeches from the group leaders to align the citizens were nothing but hot air and not one point where the audience was deeply moved.
All in all, a highly disappointing movie. Save your time and your money and watch the old version with Patrick Swayze from the 80s, then you can see how good acting can make the difference.
