A fun film

The Story: W has just started his fourth term as president. He is now at war which about a dozen countries. A group of scientists are working on making super soldiers to fight the wars. The experiments go wrong and they decide to terminate the experiment. One of the zombies escapes and infects a stripper at a nudie bar.

My Review: Well, you can't go wrong with pole dancing, explicit gore, and zombies. This movie was a lot of fun. There were plenty of boobs, one liners, gore, and zombie attacks to keep it interesting. At times the pacing was off and some of the scenes were a little awkward, but this film would pick up the pace with a good zombie attack, pole dance or some humor. The acting wasn't terrific and the characters were bland and one dimensional, but that just added to the fun. This is the film that Planet Terror should have been. Too bad they are playing it at the posh Angelika. I was the youngest person in the audience. It could have been more fun in a raunchy, cheap theater where you feet stick to the floor and you have to be careful not to set in the seat that shoves a spring up you backside. Overall, this film was a lot of fun. Go in with low expectations and watch it for what it is: a low budget zomdy with bad acting.
