Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I mean.. this is a really bad movie. I'm embarrassed for SLJ & JC.. I can't believe they'd release this.

In this film, the zombie apocalypse is initiated by a cell phone, turning people in cell phone zombies a slightly worse condition than their present state. Clay (John Cusack) is the victim of a dead cell phone battery and manages to survive. He is a graphic novelist, a skill set needed to rebuild the world. Traveling along with him is Tom, a Vietnam vet and Subway conductor.Since they are on the East Coast, Catalina Island is not an option. They plan on going to check on Clay's family, picking up and losing people along the way. From there they plan on going to Kashwak, Maine, because Stephen King is familiar with it.There is an ending, but you don't get the closure you are seeking.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

However, seeing that Sam L Jackson was second billing, I gave it a chance even with the low IMDb rating. I don't understand what happened. The movie was actually not too bad until it got to the end. Did they lose the Stephen King book they borrowed the story from? Granted, I never read this one, but King doesn't write disjointed drivel. And the last quarter of this film was drivel. The story began dropping connection about as bad as these cellular zombies. I understand that the Ice Cream Truck was a mobile bomb intended to take out some "Mother Cell Tower" that droves of these cellular zombies were doing laps around. And the number on the cell phone that the head- bomber gave Cusack was a detonator trigger. But WTF was the ending? Did the cell tower go down or not. We see Cusack, the son, and the cell tower being consumed in a virtual mushroom cloud. But then we see Cusack and his boy walking the railroadtracks following the the TJD markings on the trees. Then we see cellular zombie Cusack jogging laps around the cell tower with the rest of the hoard. Was this whole movie supposed to be a story in his head? If so WHO put it there? And how? Son of a bitch. I really hate a movie that isn't too bad through most of it, but then it seems as though the writers smoked some poisoned crack and died so the director gathered various ideas from the film crew on how to end the film, but decided each of the three ideas were so kick-ass they put them all in and let the viewer figure it out....or drive them absolutely bat-schidt insane. F#©k this movie. F#©k the cast. And f#©k the idiot producers and directors. Go eat a big cargo freighter full of rubber dog schidt from North Korea!

What a terrible movie! The novel is at best what I call "junk food Stephen King", but there's a place in the world for junk food. Even a mediocre King novel is worth your time. But this film? No redeeming qualities whatsoever. Awful script, terrible cinematography, waste of three great actors (John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Stacey Keach), putrid CGI, well, you get the picture. Did anyone involved even open up the book, let alone read it? Avoid this movie like the plague.
