No heart, no brraaaiinnnnsssss

World War Z (2013)

Directed by Marc Forster this film based on the novel of the same name stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz and Fana Mokoena. A UN investigator tries to find the cause and cure for a zombie apocalypse.

It seems that the plot of this film departs fairly heavily from the book it is based on and it lacks any real character growth or underlying themes. While the film rushes along at a brisk pace and has plenty of action there is not a lot going on beyond that but it is nice to see a zombie film on a global scale for a change. I found the direction to be of the slightly annoying type when it came to the action sequences with needless rapid cutting just for the sake of it.


3/5
