Synopsis: The last humans left after the zombie apocalypse have formed a city. Those rich and powerful enough live in a giant tower that is complete with shopping mall. The rest are kept distracted with brutal entertainment and a loss of morality. The city's zombie task force, led by Riley (Simon Baker), is in charge of bustin' up zombies outside the city and bringing supplies back for the rich folk. This arrangement doesn't turn out so well for one of the task force members and he goes rogue, hijacking the city's heavy artillery.
My Take: This movie wasn't particularly loved, not even by Romero fans. I did like seeing the writer/director's vision of the future of the zombified world.
Hopper's performance as the chairman of the tower was great and his character was pretty convincing.
While I understand the concept of the zombies evolving, I don't like it when zombies begin to use reason instead of being driven by their primal instincts- to feed on the flesh of the living. It takes away what is scary about them.
I agree with Romero's vision of the last city's underbelly. I think debauchery would run rampant if people were faced with what seemed to be the end of the world and didn't have the money to recapture some of their past, civilized lives.
The Rundown:- Worst Character: John Leguizamo's rogue wasn't very convincing. If you are going to have the balls to take on the leader of the known world you better be a bad ass. Also, it was hard to watch John Leguizamo's dead tooth for two hours.
- Best Scene: Every scene with sexy Asia Argento wearing as little as possible.
