Tim's Movie Site

Eighty Two years ago a viral outbreak turned three quarters of the world population into the walking dead. Now, Bounty Hunters are humanity's only salvation.

Review :

I watched this because I thought that the setting was original and ready for a good zombie movie... after all, the idea of mashing together a futuristic zombie survival movie and a western is a good idea. It's ready for a really good movie. But it's still waiting - because this isn't it.

The setting is original and well realized. It's quite obvious who each of the characters is based on and they all come from spaghetti westerns. And the actors do a good job of impersonations of the Clint Eastwood stereotypes...

But that's the problem. Every character is a walking talking stereotype in this movie. Every line is a stereotypical western movie cliche. And every scene is a stereotypical zombie or western type scene. In short, there is nothing new here and the movie never actually takes advantage of it's unique setting.

All in all, this is a movie that never rises above it's basic idea. It's watchable to be sure... just not something you would ever want to buy. Rent it from Netflix and make it a Friday night movie... But don't waste more money on it.
