Capaldiwatching World War Z

Rating: 5/10 (29 July 2015)

Capaldi doesn't show up until what I believe would be considered the fifth and final act of the screenplay, or Chapter 12 on your DVD, when Brad Pitt wakes up from a nightmare about zombies to find himself in a World Health Organization facility in Wales, gazing at the shadow of...Peter Capaldi, who is watching over him, looking fabulously scruffy and haggard in a loden green sweater. I didn't time it exactly but for what seemed like a good ten or fifteen minutes Brad Pitt becomes considerably more interesting as he enacts a heroic rescue of humankind while Capaldi gazes at him with hawklike intensity and murmurs thrillingly in his low Scottish burr. It definitely enhanced my experience of watching this film.
