zombie movie without any zombies.

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2013)

I saw the words "P.D. James" and expected something like a British murder mystery. It is not. It essentially a zombie film without literal zombies. A small group of people try to travel in Britain from A to B, and all kinds of crazy people with guns try to kill them, and largely succeed. There are more stunt men and extras than you can shake a stick at. I found it extremely boring. Why all this violence? It has something to do with mankind becoming completely infertile. Why this would turn everyone into homicidal maniacs is beyond me.
One of the particularly nasty villains has blond dreadlocks. I was waiting for him to have some imaginative demise, but he just unceremoniously and silently fell over backward, presumably shot by a bullet, unremarked in a corner of the screen.
There are no good looking people, and no morally courageous people, so I did not become particularly attached to the protagonists. I did not particularly care if the bad guys got them. This does not help the suspense much.
The film just ends as if the reel ran off the projector, as if chopped off by a timer at no particular place. There is no resolution. You don't even get to find out what happens to the heroes over the next few days.
What is the movie for? Perhaps it is just to show how unglamourous and pointless war is. It spoofs the complete lack of motive for all the mayhem in war.
