I enjoyed this movie, it is just another Zombie film, but it was enjoyable, without a lot of Zombie killing fun, though certainly nothing compared to his earlier films, or even 28 Days Later or Shaun of the Dead, as it doesn’t really bring more the genre except having the Zombies learn more than they did even in Day of the Dead, which just makes this a real sequel to the first 3 films.

REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS…

Simon Baker plays Riley, who leads a team of people out into the wastes around the city they live in to scavenge food and supplies from grocery stores and pharmacies from places that are overrun by the walking dead. John Leguizamo plays Cholo who is an arrogant bastard who is only out for number 1, and works for Kaufman (Dennis Hopper) who runs the city, and the rich building where people can live well for a price, like having enemies removed by Cholo. Cholo is of course betrayed by Kaufman who won’t let him into the building, so he and his crew escape with the armored dead proof vehicle with rockets aimed at the city. Riley has quit, but his car he had been building is gone. He ends up saving Slack (Asia Argento) from a Zombie gladiator match, but she, and him and his partner the burned and slightly retarded Charlie (Robert Joy) [who is a crack shot] are put in jail, but of course released to go and stop Cholo. They are given to flunkies, Pillsbury (Pedro Miguel Arce) and a woman, who is quickly disposed of, and they get back the vehicle, but Cholo is shot, and then bit, so he goes to get revenge on Kaufman. They plan to leave in the vehicle, but the dead are learning and have gotten into the city, so they want to go save people, which they do and then leave. And the dead Cholo gets his revenge on Kaufman.

Nothing too complicated, in fact too simplistic and easy. The woman never even proves her worth before she is revealed as a spy and killed off, and the main characters all make it through except Cholo, which seems strange for a Zombie film.

It is fun, but a bit too obvious. They Zombies are called just like us, trying to be us, which of course was always what the Zombies were supposed to be, but it didn’t need to be spelled out so blatantly.

I still enjoyed it though.
