i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
View MoreAn old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
View MoreI enjoyed certain parts of this movie but it's as ridiculous as it sounds. That's cool and all but it's not as funny as it should be. Maybe it's because I'm not British and my humor isn't quite the same. It does have it's moments though such as when the like 83 year old with a walker was running away from the zombie. If you like zombies I guess give it a shot but it's like a much worse Shaun of the Dead.
View MoreA gang of bumbling bank robbers and a motley assortment of spunky senior citizens have to fight their way out of a zombie-infested London. Okay, so the trite premise doesn't break any new ground, but fortunately director Matthias Hoene brings plenty of go-for-it verve and a galvanizing flashy cinematic style to compensate for the dearth of originality: The snappy pace rarely flags for a minute, the tongue-in-cheek tone hits the right engaging spot, there's a handy helping of graphic gore, the characters are colorful and likeable, and we even get a few moments of touching humanity amid all the wacky carnage. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast, with especially lively contributions from Rasmus Hardiker as the brash Terry, Harry Treadway as the earnest Andy, Michelle Ryan as feisty Katy, Jack Doolan as inept dolt Davey Tuppence, Georgia King as the sassy Emma, Alan Ford as the tough take-charge Ray, Honor Blackman as the two-fisted Peggy, Georgina Hale as the flirty Doreen, Dudley Sutton as jolly cripple Eric, Richard Briers as the doddery Hamish, and Ashley Thomas as unhinged psycho Mental Mickey. The witty script by James Moran and Lucas Roche boasts lots of hysterical cockney slang. The slick widescreen cinematography by Daniel Banks spruces things up with such snazzy flourishes as wipes and split screen. A total hoot.
View MoreI find the negative comments about this Movie a little difficult to understand - It Is what It Is, an entertaining little Gem, full of hilarious one-liners and humorous situations. The action Is almost constant and consequently Is never boring In the slightest as each scene moves quickly on to the next. A superb effort for an Independent Movie on a limited budget. A pair of dysfunctional brothers and a few equally dysfunctional friends and acquaintances go off to rob a bank just as a Zombie outbreak Is beginning In the East-end of London. The brothers' Grandad Is In a local care-home and he and his elderly friends have locked-down the home In an effort to defend themselves. The brothers decide to go and rescue them. It's pretty much non-stop from beginning to end and gives good value for money although It might not be the kind of Movie beloved by our American friends - much of the humour will go straight over their heads. Unless you're someone who for some reason dislikes both Zombie films and comedies, then this will entertain you and leave you with a smile on your face. It also answers the age-old question:- Can a Zimmer-frame using elderly person out-run the average Zombie? Not the kind of Film to watch again and again, perhaps, but well worth seeing.
View More(57%) Very much a movie that owes a great deal of its existence to "Shaun of the dead", and to a large extent that's no bad thing. It shares a super simplistic plot of its predecessor, only here it has got its head in the clouds a great deal more with its comedy bank job scenes and 17th century mummified zombies. The laughs themselves aren't of an equal quality of "Shaun of the dead", and they mostly derive from the very cockney turns of phrase, with the very funny Alan Ford giving it both barrels whenever the opportunity arises, and the sadly no longer with us Richard Briers gunning down zombies with an uzi from his zimmer frame. Overall it isn't a comedy classic, but it does offer exactly what it promises.
