Running time is nearly 2 hours. Needs some serious editing. Story is more than a bit hard to follow.
Not because its too cerebral but because the characters are completely covered in battle gear and the camera work would make The Blair Witch motion sick
At the halfway point I really felt like the film had started all over again. So much so I stopped it to check. The flow seems to follow military "hurry up and wait" philosophy. I never knew it to be possible but you can get board by scenes of people frantically running around in the woods.
It couldn't decide if it was a zombie film, a Virus endeavor, double-agent, governmental conspiracy or just boys having a grand paintball fight in the woods with zombies.
I've debated with myself whether to recommend this or not. It's hella-long, but like I said, I really like the soundtrack/music. (That is except for the few minutes of dramatic operatic-type music toward the end. It wasn't the very end or I'd think "Well, it's not over 'til the Fat Lady sings") Except is wasn't quite over.
This would be a good film to run in the background of a Halloween party or outdoor barbeque where there were paintball competitions. I've given this 5 stars and I'm going to put it into my so bad its good list. Oh, definitely a guy flick even though I'm a chick.
I suspect she won't mind it for the music.
