Goofs

Everyone seems to be able to make and receive calls with ease. In reality, a national emergency with chaos on that level would surely cause the national cellphone network to overload, and that's ignoring the many cellphone masts that would be abandoned by technicians or overrun by zombie attacks.

You Surely know what's coming next
24 November 2018 | by David-coverversionSee all my reviews

Don't you?

This film was fun, action-packed, full of dangerous elements, innovative, had pretty girls in it and most importantly was successful.

Yup, here comes the Hollywood remake. It will be another entry in the series of redundant, unnecessary, inferior, whitewashed and women made western taliban style ugly Hollywood remakes.

Paul Feig or Jar Jar Abrams are negotiating their cut as we speak.
