A popcorn movie in every sense of the word, Battle: Los Angeles delivers exactly what it’s selling…nothing more, nothing less. No cliche goes unturned in this “us versus them ” shoot-em-up mish-mash of Black Hawk Down and ID4. “Skyline” tried to do the same thing months ago and failed in the biggest possible way because it overcomplicated a very simple premise. Nothing complicated about this one! Things go boom, we rally to beat the big bad, little kids lose their daddys and grown men show they care as they kill! Entertaining, not very logical, a complete B movie, and fun. Check out this Battle but do it at a matinee, don’t pay full price.
