Movie full of absurdities and overly caricatural characters.
First of all, the way the containment is managed makes NO SENSE at all. Do you really think the English government would EVER seal shut entire blocks of people cutting water and electricity and without telling them what's going on? Why? What's the advantage? Has the government suddently turned into the Saw villain? How can anyone believe this would EVER work.
Then if the government really wants to be SO authoritarian, why there is literally zero soldiers except for a single sniper in the entire area. Just a bunch of doctors that are, surprise surprise, soon easily overpowered.
And why at some point the government decides to just leave, forgetting corpses of their own people on the ground forever? So much for keeping it secret.
And why are they sending an unarmed woman and a guy alone to remove people form their apartments? In fact they get overpowered after 2 minutes.
And why regular people just instantly become murderers, kidnappers, etc. And start behaving like it's a war, instead of just cooperating with the authorities hoping to get help.
So plenty of plot holes plus the terrible characterization of the protagonists that are cartoonish in their clichés. Also one stupid and absurd behaviour after the other.
Like.... the last thing I would do if there was a containment situation in my building was kick down my own wall after 5 minutes to go talk with the neighbour, I would have to spend thousands of euros to just repair it.
I could go on but I think it's enough.
Such a wasted chance.
