Refreshing movie to end the summer

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2004)

I caught a sneak preview for the American release-- a week after seeing Resident Evil, no less -- and have to say that I was extremely impressed. Contrary to claims that Americans won't "get it," the humor is quite easy to understand (and honestly uses a lot of the same slang we use here in the States). The dialogue was a bit tough to hear at first (possibly a theater speaker problem), but otherwise accents are easy to understand.
For the zombie movie fan, it's a treat. Lots of little references to the original Dead films and even a couple amusing references to 28 Days Later. It has the perfect blend of intelligent wit and downright silly humor to make it a fun Friday night popcorn flick. In my top five for the year.
8.5 out of 10.
