Professional Reviews
2 reviews from 2 criticsThe film starts promisingly with strong visuals and a compelling first act, but suffers from shallow characters and a lack of narrative momentum. Snyder's stylized direction cannot overcome predictable plot twists and wasted potential in the zombie-heist hybrid.
