Even in director Chris Gorak's alien invasion thriller The Darkest Hour, which takes place entirely in Russia, do the Americans come out on top.
With Timur Bekmambetov producing we're guaranteed some effectively imaginative moments and some haunting imagery that's reminiscent of 28 Days Later but there's nothing really of substance beyond that. The characters are paper-thin so that the suspense & thrills are absent past the 20 minute mark. With a little bit more character development and additional thought put into the potential danger it might have been a better than average popcorn thriller.
