 For those who enjoyed the original this is for you<\/b>. Anyone else who doesn’t enjoy fun films and is looking for artsy-fartsy deep meaning films just click on a different page now.. this isn’t for you. <\/i><\/p>\n

Well we’ve been waiting awhile for this one since 2010 in our last arti<\/a>cle about this film. Finally got to see it after it was finally released.<\/p>\n

Like allot of movies it seems we like the critics hated i<\/a>t. Again frick them, I thought this movie was great! Blood, guts, action, betrayal, loyalty, friendship through mutual suffering. Everything you need  really.  <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Plenty of homage to the original film it still takes it’s own direction and stands well on it’s own and doesn’t feel the need to be “just a remake”. Myself I liked it even better than the original although Mr.K disagrees. Although he loved it too he still holds that the original is still the better<\/a> film. Vive le difference. It would have been better if they had kept the invaders as Chi Com forces instead of caving into political expediency….

<\/u>Story summed up in a few sentences or less<\/u>:<\/p>\n

North Korean commies invade a town in WA U.S.A.
 Local kids along with a Marine on leave head for the hills and start a resistance group. Plenty of action, some good tactics and some hard choices. Hopes raised, dreams dashed and hard realities set in. End plot summary.
