Red Dawn Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Ellis
It packs plenty of rabble-rousing ammunition, but its sloppy execution is unlikely to win any merit badges for marksmanship.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
an often compelling and always entertaining, but fundamentally flawed merging of Hollywood's Reagan-era penchant for action escapism and distinct Cold War paranoia
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
Red Dawn may be far from the most plausible action movies of the 1980s, but it's easily among the most memorable.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
When it was released in late summer of 1984, it was a big hit, which shouldn't come as a surprise; this was the year when Reagan won the presidency in a landslide, and if nothing else, 'Red Dawn' plays like a Reaganite masturbatory fantasy.
Mania.com
Rob Vaux
Red Dawn knows what it wants to say; it just has a hard time saying it, and too often it goes for the easy score instead of really delving into the possibilities of the scenario.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Certainly a silly Conservative leaning product of its decade, but one that still holds cache as a fun and exciting bit of escapism...
Common Sense Media
Charles Cassady
Controversial, bloody 1980s WWIII film with teen heroes.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
The smartest/dumbest movie of 1984.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Released in the midst of renewed Cold War nuclear dread, Red Dawn doesn't starve for unintended wackiness.

C'mon: The Dirty Dozen meets The Breakfast Club? That's just awesome.

See Red Dawn only when you're in the mood for a guilty pleasure

Guilty pleasure film that one day you'll have to explain to your grandkids.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
Good action flick and the first PG13 movie.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Commie paranoia rampant!
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Red-baiting pablum about some Brat Packers, here dubbed the Wolverines, who rescue Colorado from a Soviet occupation. Risibly bad, jingoistic, and often laughable to boot.
