Dragon Day (2013)
7/10
What Red Dawn didn't have the guts to be
3 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Slow at times and at one time looking like the beginnings of the usual post-apocalyptic re-hash, but came out completely different. The usual American movies can't entertain the possibility that the people will largely roll over and accept occupation. There always has to be the triumphant fight-back.

Here, it's a story of surrender and obey, with references to the current US debt debacle. The focus is on one family not yielding, but not being in a position to fight back either, so escape is the only option.

Although at the end a spanner is thrown into the occupiers machinery.
