The Very Best Zombie Film - EVER

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2013)

Brad Pitt - what an excellent actor. Normally this should have been just another stupid movie about silly ole zombies. Once you add an actor of Mr. Pitt's caliber, a movie's value tends to increase. That was probably the most brilliant thing the producers and director could have done. Sometimes quality actors are not just in a movie, but they become the movie and this is what happened in this case. He made everyone else look good. Like I said - this should have been a dog of a movie. And let's face it, lately, I have seen some real dogsincluding one of steelwhich actually left me expecting very little from this flick. Boy was I wrong. Pass me the ketchup and brains – this movie was fun – well directed – funny – high tempo – no dead spots - everything you would want from an action movie. Also, there was no political undertones – no hidden meanings – no slowing of pace – no rigid acting – no self-reflections - no pontifications - this is stuff not needed in any movie. I was losing hope in Hollywood, they seemed incapable of turning out anything other than political dribble. This movie was some kind of redemption. I feel this movie was well worth the time and well worth the money no rust on this steel.
