That's 2 hours of my life I won't get back

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2007)

I'm amazed to see the score for this movie from other users. I work in Canary Wharf, so I found some interest in the setting (spotting places I know etc). Otherwise I thought it was an embarrassment for Robert Carlyle to have been in it.
It lurches from a zombie flesh eater type film to an action picture and then eventually to a comedy.
Particularly irritations include (i) Carlyle's character seems to behave differently from all the other people with the virus for no explained reason, (ii) there is a cheesy American marine thrown in at random (who is totally out of place) (iii) There is a unnecessarily gratuitous killing that seemed like a desperate bid to recapture lost interest.
To begin with I found it tense and scary, by then end I was bored and laughing at how ridiculous it had become. It seemed as if the writer got bored after a while and could decide where to go with it...
The shame of it is that its a good idea for a story but its very badly executed.
