I swear, I don't have a "thing" for Chris Hemsworth. Reviewing two of his movies within a week is purely coincidental, and I promise to wait MONTHS before reviewing any more (sorry The Avengers).
Now down to business. The world sucks. This is proven to us through an opening news footage montage. It's a rather depressing mixtape of war, economic crisis, and rising threats. Hopefully North Korea and Russia don't team up against America.
Enter Chris Hemsworth as Jed the Marine. Seriously. Jed. I guess they had to use the same names as in the 1984 version. Anyways, Jed is visiting his hometown of Spokane, Washington. He wakes up on his dad's couch one morning to discover it is raining North Koreans. Literally. Damn, it looks like North Korea and Russia are teaming up against America. Jed and his brother Matt manage to evade the Korean soldiers by driving through their neighbors' lawns, obliterating as many fences and shrubs as possible. Luckily, they are able to pick up their friends on their way into the wilderness to start the resistance!
After of two minute combat training course from Jed, this group of teenagers is ready to take on the North Korean army. They decide to call themselves Wolverines after their shitty high school football team mascot. The next hour is full of explosions, gunfights, and sibling arguing.
Final Thoughts: After seeing the original Red Dawn, this remake was pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Not exactly a masterpiece, but it was an entertaining, patriotic adventure. AMERICA!
Do they drink beer in this movie?
Yes. Rolling Rock; official beer of the resistance.
Final Beer Score (Out of five beers):
