Review of Army of the Dead (2021) by Dayall — 24 May 2021

Honestly the worst movie I've seen in a long time, I didn't even make it all the way through. The initial premise was great, Zombie heist action movie, hoping for something like train to busan meets oceans 11, instead it was a movie that delivered neither a good heist or good zombie survival movie. The main issue being the extra hooks they kept tacking on. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a movie tackling sensitive subjects such as immigration, and the abuse women face (two subjects this movie seems to want to cover) however do the subjects justice. Instead of being poignant it just feels like moral grandstanding, no actual substance what so ever and the movie just keeps derailing as it continued, adding then dropping plot devices whenever it wants.

I normally love a good cheesy B-movie action flick like this, if the plot sucks, you can just turn your brain off and enjoy the action at least, but not with this movie. The action is constantly being broken up with needless drama and aforementioned new plot device, like literally every 5m which is terribly written and terribly delivered by 50% of the cast. TLDR version of this review, I would avoid this movie like a zombie outbreak if you have any kind of taste and don't want to waste most of your afternoon.
