Following the 9/11 attacks, the war on terror against Afghanistan continues. With the Taliban insurgents hiding out in the mountains however, they become increasingly difficult for the US military to engage. The solution is to try and flush them out by adding low level chemicals to the water supply. Little do the USA know however that enemy scientists have adapted the chemicals to make their own formula, one that can bring the dead back to life.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

After the terrorists' supposed assassination, a sqad of soldiers fighting the zombies in the middle of the War save a lone woman searching for her brother intending to put an end to the fighting and must join forces to not only save everyone but stop the zombies from getting free.This one emerged as quite a decent offering overall. One of the better aspects featured here is the rather nice action that continually pops up throughout here which is to be expected considering the setting. Taking place in the middle of the Afghanistan War, this one emerges as pretty much guaranteed to provide all sorts of shorter and longer confrontations with the soldiers as it alternates from scenes like the group shooting stragglers along the route their traveling on or finding two or three in an ambush to several full-on extended gun-battles that are exceptionally fun. The opening assault in the underground lair to initially capture the main terrorist, the first encounter with the full group out in the desert where they take out the swarm on the dunes of the desert and the series of battles in the bombed-clearing or the outskirts of the deserted town work as enjoyable longer confrontations that provide this one with the kind of action that's worthwhile throughout here to lead into the fantastic finale which has tons to like about it. The series of zombie battles that break out from the released swarm taking out the soldiers guarding them to the different gunfights that occur underground with the swarms coming after them which gives this a lot to really like as these here make this one such a wild, continuous ride. Complete with some solid zombie make-up and lots of gore, this one has enough to really hold it up over it's few minor flaws. The main issue with the film is the complete lack of reasoning why the lone vigilante is in the area knowing that it's overrun with zombies. There's little reason for him to be here other than to provide a secondary side-plot that doesn't need to be there with the main part of the film already taken up with a main storyline that could've worked. It's also quite low-budget and shows it with the constant irritating CGI bloodshed for nearly every wound and blood-splatter unleashed. These here hold this one back slightly.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

This is a very underrated film. The actors play the roles well, some over the top kind of acting is appreciated in its timing, and the true acting in the serious parts is well done. It is a refreshing take on a genre that is well wore in at this point. You know what the characters are in for from the very start and it doesn't waste its time introducing characters that die right away, but keeps the importance of the said character in picture. The special effects are done well considering its not big time movie production. If your the type of person that like movies for the same 20 actors that you see all the time bugger off with your bad reviews and go back to giving the next *Michael Fassbender and *Ryan Gossling movie full rating just because you recognize them, and not because you like story lines or anything like that.*Nothing against those two, their good actors.

One of the funniest films i have ever seen, intentional or not. i especially love the care taken over props and weapons to make it seem like something that could happen. The inclusion of RPS (Rocket Proppeled Steam)at the end. this is a new age weapon and i am glad to see they had the cgi capability to pull it off. i enjoyed the fact that, if anything, it cleaned the man who was firing it was amazing to me whilst tearing osama apart.i was shocked at the amount of money that had seemed to be pumped into this film. the inclusion of countless helicopters and Ac130s was exciting to me, the question is who got the 11 kill streak? this was the only flaw.. i only counter 10 kills. the constant breaking of the fourth wall unintentionally made the whole experience very real to me.the story line was kept compelling and interesting with very real characters. The writers kept me hooked with the references to pokemon, facebook and 9/11 was a common theme. this kept it up to date, and i was on the edge of my seat waving the stars and stripes throughout. 10/10 must see
