And They Said Will Smith Couldn't Act

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2010)

The film itself was a bit short but I think that's a perfect sign that it was captivating and intriguing. Will Smith carried the entire movie with Tom Hanks/Cast Away resonant range in character development and Francis did a great job directing. I was also glad to see a more realistic, engaging, and higher level of production concept per the infected. It's all too common to see a cheap zombie-esquire take on a societal infection. I would never have expected that to be the case for a Will Smith vehicle but he has tackle the other generic monster fare in previous outings...mostly in the form of Aliens.
The length is a great cue for the set up of a prequel which is reportedly already in development. If made, I hope the do justice to the investigation of the initial cure and where all went wrong in New York/ground zero site.
