In 1984, "Red Dawn" offered a look at an American invasion by foreign aggressors, with co-writer/director John Milius trying to sell the idea of Colorado teenagers fighting to defend their land from occupation. Many critics scoffed at the idea of adolescents turning into patriotic war machines, leaving an opening for 1985's "Invasion U.S.A." to sell a more direct visual of American heroism. Would you laugh at Chuck Norris? Well, possibly, but the star goes full steeliness in the actioner, which also covers battle zone happenings between vicious foreign intruders and terrified locals. Director Joseph Zito ("Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter," "Missing in Action") seems to be hanging on for dear life with the endeavor, offering a wildly uneven and shockingly inert take on a surefire premise that welcomes big screen hellraising. There's Norris with guns and a growl, mobs of enemies, and locations to blow up.
