For those of us with a Red Dawn bent, this Aussie invasion movie is now airing in the U.S.; it's currently on The Movie Channel and The Movie Channel Extreme (Dish Network chs. 327-330) this month.
Best description I can give: Red Dawn lite. Some action, but mostly it's the experiences of the teens as they decide what to do, and only near the end, do they decide to resist. If there's a sequel, more action-and a correspondingly higher body count. (one judges action movies not just on the story, but on how vivid and well done the action scenes are, as well as the body count....folks used to judge an action movie by the latter category-at least they used to back in the '80s and '90s)
Review: 3 stars out of 5.
