Incredibly cool

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2009)

I have just seen Zombieland and I must say that I had high expectations after seeing the trailer and it definitely lived up to them, and maybe even surpassed them. In an industry where mundane horror films are being spat out of the money making machine Halloween after Halloween after Halloween, this comes as a completely refreshing zombie movie. A very funny reflection on America. It is original and delicious from beginning to end. The cast were perfectly chosen, making the film even cooler than it would've been anyway, - had the film makers chosen a more dire cast the plot alone would've been able to make the film average. Eisenberg is especially superb, adding comedic sweetness to a surprisingly gory film (given its 15 rating.) Not at all predictable, the film is definitely worth seeing. My only small criticism is that the subplot between Tallahasse and son could've been brought in to the film a bit more which would have brought even more depth to his character. Otherwise brilliant development between all characters.
Summary: The most awesome action sequences I have seen in a long time. Incredibly cool. Eisenberg is one to watch.
