why oh why do we pay taxes?

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2004)

I didn't really think this film would affect me this much but I found myself thinking about an exit strategy IN CASE we ever get invaded by zombies. Sad isn't it? The film makers succeeded in doing their job. They give blood, gore and thought provoking situations to confront yourself with. If you don't take life too seriously and haven't become too jaded by life then you'll enjoy yourself and leave asking "what would I do in this situation?" and laugh about all the nasty stuff you just saw with your friends. If you ARE that over serious, hard-to-please type then you'll leave the theater asking "why did I just waste my money on THAT?" like the sour-puss walking out of the theater next to me. He was thankfully the only one who didn't enjoy himself and his friends told him to shut up and mellow out when he became The-Director-Who-Could-Have-Done-a- Better-Job, we all know that guy unfortunately. The beginning of the film before the credits rolled got the audience to clap and cheer, it was just that exciting and brutal. Civilization at the very moment of collapse, the point where 911 fails, police and paramedics just can't do their jobs anymore and our main characters are left to jump in their car and floor it to safety. Excellent fun. If you want a possible happy ending, LEAVE when the final credits start. If you stay through the credits you'll be left with a sad, disturbing ending which I was not happy with because I just wanted everyone to finally be safe, and thats not what happens. If it were me on that boat I would have.....
