World War Z
The upside to fighting a war against zombies is their Navy and Air Force are utterly pathetic.
Unfortunately, the father in this horror movie has to fend off the ground troop zombies.
Ex-UN inspector Gerry (Brad Pitt), his wife (Mireille Enos) and daughters (Sterling Jerins, Abigail Hargrove) narrowly escape a walking dead outbreak in Philadelphia.
Escorted to a US naval ship, Gerry is briefed on the military's belief that the epidemic is viral in nature, and can be cured.
But to do so, they need him to travel to Jerusalem and isolate the pathogen amid hordes of the living dead.
Based on the bestseller by Max Brooks, World War Z vaguely resembles its literary companion.
Instead, this listless adaptation is more akin to a patchwork of expeditious but unexceptional undead, tired clichés and an obvious whimper of an ending.
Incidentally, America's best defense against any brain-eating enemy is the Marines.
