This movie really takes the cake so far of the 2013 trash movies. Poorly written and unbelievably poorly acted.
Continuity:
The productions company obviously doesn't even know what this term means, as there is not even the slightest attempt to maintain continuity.
Poorly acted and "voiced". This movie might have been slightly more believable had it been perhaps insinuated that this was some "European" Black-Ops operation that caused the accident, instead of saying it was an American operation deep in Eastern Europe, but then most of the people that are supposed to be portraying American Generals and troops don't even come CLOSE to having a believable American accent.
Unbelievable military tactics and situations *spoiler alert*:
In one situation, one of the mercenaries is being pursued by 10 or more "infected zombies" and he has a 12 gauge shotgun, which he has not even fired yet. Anyone who knows weapons will know that a 12 gauge shotgun is a GREAT riot/multiple target weapon and is GREAT for clearing large spaces. What does this mercenary do instead of using the shotgun? He puts it down and picks up a barrel and rolls it almost comically at the zombies to trip them up. He then proceeds to pick up another barrel to assault another zombie with it. Wow. This mercenary was also touted to be so "skilled" at combat by the American General without the American accent
Did I also mention that this American General is also sporting a goatee? Facial hair is NOT permitted in the US Military, the regulations stating that this is necessary to ensure a good seal on a face-mask, and it gives an appearance of esprit de corps in maintaining uniform personal appearance.
Stupid Decisions:
*Spoiler Alert* During one circumstance in which they are trying to flee the city, and get to the "minimum safe distance" from the nuclear weapon that is counting down, they have to stop for gas in their getaway car (a VW beetle) that they had only been driving at approximately 20mph looking like they are out for a Sunday drive (sorry, but if a nuclear weapon is going to go off, I will be driving like a madman!). So anyway, they attempt to refuel when of course more zombies show up. Along comes some country bumpkin that has the best American accent in the whole movie, along with being arguably the best actor in the whole movie... but his vehicle is a VW bus that is also low on fuel. So my main problem is that in a city where everyone has been turned into zombies, who of course have no use for their former vehicles, why do BOTH parties make the absolutely stupid decision of commandeering vehicles that are so low on fuel when there is a WHOLE CITY OF VEHICLES WAITING TO BE USED!
Acting:
Very poor, wooden, without emotion in the face of a situation that would give ANYONE the heebie-jeebies.
Suffice it to say that I was only able to make it about three-quarters of the way through this movie as it was just so painful to watch.
