Something of a let-down

Rating: 6/10 (15 June 2007)

I had high hopes considering the quality of "28 Days" and what some of the reviews said, but too much in the movie was contrived. It seemed like the second half was an illogical or unnecessary series of events that were just used to see how much can be thrown into the mix without regard to plot holes and silly decision making by the characters. Glad I hedged my bets by seeing it at the dollar theater.
The gore and violence were first rate (they should make movies like this as NC-17 and just go "full tilt"), but the above issues became too much of a distraction. The acting and directing were fine- the writing should've had a few more re-writes before production.
