It's Red Dawn, but Australian. That's it. That's the movie.Eight teens take a camping trip in the Outback before graduating from high school and accidentally miss the invasion of their town. With very little resources and no help incoming, the eight kids must band together to defend themselves and free everyone they know.
Okay, but is it a good Red Dawn knock-off? That's for you to say. It doesn't feel as interminable as the original but it definitely smacks of jingoistic fearmongering. There's something really gross about "unspecified foreigners are coming to take your way of life and only violence can save you" especially coming from a country that itself invaded and tried to eradicate the native population, but I'm not a think tank member with a PoliSci degree so what do I know?
Still think they're missing out on making it a comedy, but it's currently streaming on Tubi.
