fast paced thrill ride with a heart

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2007)

I loved this movie, it was fast paced and filled with action, but not only that, you really feel for all of the characters. I wasn't a huge fan of the first film but the second film really validated it for me. There's some awesome action that includes not only guns and poisonous gas followed by flame throwers but also an air attack and a helicopter tearing a crowd of infected to shreds.And the best part are those sudden flashes of horror when you aren't expecting it,(I jumped a few times). It may be the fact that I'm an American whose served in the US Air Force, but I really loved how they brought the US troops into Britian to help maintaine order. You are so unaware of any distinction between the two cultures because you're so focused on the human factors, no one wants to die no matter where you're from.I see a lot of movies and I'm usually a skeptic, but I found myself really loving this film. I saw it twice today!
