Red Dawn (2012)

American gets invaded by Russians Chinese North Koreans in this remake of the classic by John Milius.

Things play out the same, mostly. Aside from the rampant gore and body count of the original, and Milius's vision of a war that is both noble and soul-destroying for both occupiers and guerilla fighters.

Watch: The Original. This one lacks conviction.
