Entertaining stupidity

Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2004)

This film is entertaining, no matter how low-brow or cliché. Way better than I thought it would be. I thought it would be like Batman & Robin bad. It wasn't. You will not be bored or mentally scarred by poor craft. In fact, it's so stupid and clichéd that one could just be entertained by laughing at it with your smart friends. That's what I did.
It sort of weaves in and out of cool, suspenseful moments, and then back into the worst acting in recent cinematic history.
There seemed to a different accent for every character. It's completely ridiculous. I had to laugh at that.
Every character is a rip-off of a character we've all seen before. The street-wise black guy character is a complete cliché' and an obviously inserted "comic relief" character, but for some reason, he actually manages to be funny, and not in an unintentional way.
The plot was actually kind of cool. It got me into it...a little. It was a rip-off of "Escape from New York", but it worked for this film.
Also, we get to see one or two original zombie scenes. When is the last time you saw a group of zombie children?
Great combination of action, horror and funny bad acting! It's the unintentional comedy of Troll 2, crossed with John Woo and George Romero.
6/10 for entertainment value.
