Overview

A city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky—shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerrilla group of fighters.

Viewing Notes

Was surprised when this was announced as the closing night movie at FF2012. Even more surprised now that I’ve seen it b/c it’s not a very good movie. That said, it’s not any better or worse than the original. I prefer the original for more nostalgic reasons and actors. This one is fine but also stupid. Hemsworth is okay. Josh Peck just ruins everything. Not a charismatic actor at all. Palicki is good tho.
