Red Dawn
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Young Marine Chris Hemsworth, a very whiny Josh Peck, blink or miss him Josh Hutcherson, blink or miss her Adrianne Palicki, badass father Brett Cullen, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as not Power Boothe, Conner Cruise as Mr. Nepotism, and Isabel Lucas as Peck's very pretty, never talking girlfriend.
Scene Pop: A plane crashes into a house.
Briggs Breakdown: 2 planes destroyed, 2 houses destroyed, 4 cars destroyed, 4 building and store explosions, 1 crashed school bus, and rampant gunfire.
Effective?: Yes, yet cookie-cutter and tiresome.
Check it Out?: Matinee at best. I don't know what dates this film further: how young Chris Hemsworth is, the many new stories and delays it had, or the use of Filter's "Hey Man Nice Shot." Teens may head to it for an escape but it will not have the genuine "what if" fear the original film had during the 1980's. Whether anyone will like it or not, the film will certainly be a "camel."
