What incompetent nonsense
14 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This film is a pile of incompetent nonsense from start to finish. So, then: the invading forces have enough men and equipment to launch half a battalion against every small American town? Really? Across the whole United States? They get this whole airborne invasion into place without the United States noticing that anything is happening? And while all this is going on, where exactly are the American armed forces? Just sitting back and letting the Cubans and the Russians take over the country? Maybe sending in a half-hearted (sorry, tenth-hearted) response in the form of one Bell helicopter with half a dozen rockets against said half battalion? On their own soil???!!! Oh, dear ... this film falls flat on its face on plot, dialogue, production, directing, acting, continuity ... apart from that, it's not too bad: there are a couple of nice landscape shots in it.
