Thoughts?
I thought the film boasts some really interesting ideas, and gives a few little twists here in there in the zombie genre, but the second half just falls kinda flat and it loses it's momentum, which sucks because it started out really strong. The characters are pretty stale and uninteresting, and when they started dying I just didn't feel anything. The performances themselves were fine, though. Close was MVP like always. The first 30 minutes or so were phenomenal (there's a scene that could go down as one of the best action scenes of the year, for people who count this as 2017), but I don't know, it just loses steam after a while. Again, it holds some really interesting ideas but it just didn't emotionally pull me in enough to really care that much.
Tech-wise it's good, and the performances were fine, so I'd give it like a 6.5 or something. I can see this being one of the "underrated gems of the year" that people will talk about come December.
