Critics' reviews
  • "A childishly simplistic masturbatory fantasy for right-wing hebephrenics"
  • "Red Dawn may be rabidly inflammatory, but it isn't dull. Mr. Milius does know how to keep a story moving"
  • "The film is too dumb to work as patriotic exhortation and too mawkish to work as blood-and-guts exploitation."
  • "Red Dawn charges off to an exciting start as a war picture and then gets all confused in moralistic handwriting, finally sinking in the sunset."
  • "The casting is excellent, the performances are so good and the emotional thrust of the film so strong that it is impossible not to enjoy"
