Only 1 little problem with this movie: Zombies

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2013)

I had to put on my special cap marked 'Suspension of disbelief' to watch the movie. Indeed, I'm one of those movie fans who doesn't care about zombies, never have, and except for this one, never will (at least I don't expect to). That being said, once you think of zombies as infected humans, as opposed to undead, you can watch the movie as an action thriller/adventure, and then it works.
Given director Marc Foster was responsible for 'Quantum of Solace' and for Monster's Ball', and given the star of this flick was Brad Pitt, it was a pretty sure bet I was going to see it. Both have pumped out some good work in the past and have done so again here. The IMDb full story line gives us enough of the plot to decide if we're going to be interested. Though I wasn't, I have to admit I did get caught up in the action and the thrilling pursuit for a solution, early on. The character Gerry Lane, played by Pitt, is an interesting one; he has a keen sense of observation and power of deduction, one that would make Sherlock Holmes proud.
The writers and the narration by Pitt, tries very hard to make you believe the vulnerability of man and the hazardous or inherent danger with science and chemicals (pharma or others) development for peaceful or not so peaceful ends. It would be a resounding success if we weren't talking zombies of course. There's no doubt that if you have gotten past the zombies thing, you will love this movie. I tried my best, your turn now.
