< RED DAWN      SPOILER ALERT >

Why the U.S.S.R. invaded the U.S. *was* irrelevant to the plot -
the kids didn't know why, and the movie is showing events from
the kids' point of view.  If you watched closely, you could infer
some reasons.

The film explained very clearly that Darryl was captured when he
went into town to see his father - he betrayed his friends rather
than suffer himself.  He could've told them he had been bugged.
He didn't.  He was executed.  Marighella would have approved
totally.

I can't have much confidence in a review made by someone who
didn't pay attention.  Of course, if you had run out to the lobby
for popcorn, that's ok! :-)
