I ended up seeing the movie and while not re-inventing the wheel, as I've mentioned in the title of this review, it doesn't have to. I found "65" to be a pretty entertaining movie, making most of its budget, cast and locations. The budget is blessedly not $450 million dollars or whatever Hollywood keeps spending on its tired, empty and dying blockbusters.
It has pretty good production values and an ideal runtime for this type of movie. It isn't a remake, reboot, sequel or prequel. That is definitely a bonus. Plus, I liked the setting and timing of the movie. Interesting concept. Not perfect by any means. However I saw it has pretty low scores and negative reviews and I am not sure any of it is deserved. But that's just me.
