Awful

The reality is this movie is awful. HOW it reached 5 stars is beyond me. Was this considered good eight years ago???

Redundant slow-motion, unnecessary effects to create a dramatic moment. Basic and boring lighting. Special effects done to the max.

Talk about blaxploitation, white guy becomes a savior in Africa? The villagers literally touched him like he was Jesus himself, despite their own people already being heroes, for whatever reason, the white guy gets the praise from total strangers. That made no sense.

Africa was used for the sake of it's setting. Then brought in a white savior. Why did the Ford brothers think that story was okay?

And hey, even saves a baby. Isn't he just so great?

This movie is weak and anyone who likes it (and I love zombie movies, that's why I sat through this garbage) loves the same offensive story. Awful.
