Overall, good package of a movie, that works well because of just how good Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are in it, and some great action sequences, but kinda falls flat for me otherwise.
Whether it was cause of higher expectations, or something else, it didn't really connect with me. Admittedly, past the very beginning sequence, I think the first like third of the movie felt kind of too slow. Also, there was a lot of other smaller parts…
Great opening... but then it kinda sucks.
Feels like it lost everything that made 28 Days Later stand out. 28 Days Later has these key, longer periods of atmosphere-building and letting you spend some time with the characters, using really large, unnaturally empty spaces to create a unique, intriguing vibe. On the other hand, this was just a lot of human incompetence, a really dumb inciting incident, and a whole lot of really over-gratuitous zombie mayhem and gore, with characters you could not care less about.
The first movie's definitely better, but this was still a fun watch. For me the main falling off point was that the villain plot sucked in this. The first movie had a dumb villain plot but it was done well and enjoyable, while here it was pretty boring.
Great movie! Really fun + funny watch, really great parody of corporate bureaucracy and other aspects of business + life. So many good jokes and bits in here, and then also a well done full circle heartfelt story throughout it, with a great ending too!
