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.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Many people sh!tted on this film when it came out in 2012. But by the looks of it in 2018 it doesn't seem as far fetched anymore. I thought the character development was very well done. It had just the right amount of sadness as action. The acting is very believable. This film was actually shot in 2009. At the time America had a good president so the events of this film seemed ridiculous.

(Originally seen a few years ago) I have yet to see the original but I'm guessing it's one hundred times better than this pile of absolute garbage. Chris Hemsworth was never a good actor, he does the bare minimum as Thor, and yet he is somehow noticeably awful here, he stands around a lot and says "Here's what we should do", and when he's not doing that he's arguing with his dim-witted brother or shooting the invaders. The rest of the cast who are mostly unknown are dreadful here, they should stay unknown. God-awful action sequences, and awful everything. This piece of garbage is completely unwatchable, and another noisy, braindead piece of tripe that deserves it's place on the worst films of the decade. 0/10

I remember seeing the original version of this from the 80's and that was OK, nothing fantastic but an original idea and worth a watch for the action and acting. THis recent remake isn't even OK - it's woeful. The acting is dreadful, the story is thin, the action scenes hard to follow because they are mostly in dark or filmed so close you can't see what's going on (ie they are cheating). I give it 3 for a few good moments in an otherwise dire production, I mean I have seen worse, but not by much. The patriotism and "inspiring" speeches just don't ring true - it all comes across as lame & desperate and a lot of the "acting" is not much more than blank stares conveying nothing at all. Isabel Lucas should be banned from anything resembling a screen, she is an embarrassment to Australian Film & Television and the rest of the cast were only marginally better. Don't bother with this unless you're really really desperate for something to fill in an hour or so without taxing your mind.

I have noticed (it's not hard) that this movie is getting thrashed for being so much worse than the 1984 original. It seems like a lot of reviewers might grew up with the Dirty Dancing casted 1984 version. I had never seen the 1984 or the 2012 versions but did so yesterday (2012 version) and today (1984 original).First, the 1984 release has a 6,3 and the 2012 remake has a 5.4 rating. That's not a huge difference.Josh Peck has received a massive amount of hate for his performance. Yes, the casting of him is weird and his performance is not solid, but I can remind you that good acting was not overrepresented in the 1984 version either. No, Josh Peck doesn't look like a brother to Chris Hemsworth but does Charlie Sheen look like a brother of Patrick Swayze?The new film gets criticism for unrealistic warfare tactics (and outcomes)... But I couldn't really find less of it in the old original...So here's what I did. I had a bad day and needed something where I don't have to think too much, I get into my 12-year old mode and enjoy the ride (People! It's a bunch of kids killing hundreds of trained soldiers that has superior fire power, one has do dumb down first!). It worked, and was a prerequisite for BOTH versions.
