In a pile of dead bodies, someone wakes up. Who is he? How did he end up there? Amnesia is the first stage of an infection that turns humans into dried husks of flesh. Hunger led them to eat corpses from the bacteriological war of the North, thrown from the sky to the South of the Latin American continent. Dog - the name given him by three wild men and a young girl - begins an insane and bloody race to survive.
Everyone probably had this feeling. You just woke up and have no idea where you are or what went on or what you are supposed to do next. Add to that scenario an end of the world Mad Max style enviroment and you not remembering not just a fluke but an ongoing issue! I don't think you'd feel to good about yourself, just as the main character here does.
But it's more than just doom and death, there is social commentary here too. It may not be too thick (which is ok) and it may be overshadowed by some mean cliches getting thrown your way. Still this has its merits and even though some motivations remain unclear, suspense works in favor of the movie. Even when you almost lose interest in it ...
