any and every episode of the walking dead is superior to this

Rating: 4/10 (27 July 2013)

This is pretty much a cookie cutter action movie with Brad Pitt and his comedy hair. It was robbed of any attempt to generate horror or suspense in order to get a family friendly rating. When watching a zombie film I willingly suspend disbelief that the living dead walk the Earth. This suspension of disbelief does not give the film-makers carte blanche to cobble together any old moronic claptrap that doesn't make one iota of sense. The presence of a fantasy element does not negate the need for a plot, characterisation or acting. Unfortunately the makers of this film seem to think that zombies automatically generate a free pass that permits lazy, perfunctory film-making.
Save your money. This is just a Z list film that happens to have Brad Pitt in it.
