    • Trivia
      The Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate does indeed have a devil's advocate office to explore alternative assumptions and worst-case scenarios so intelligence assessments doesn't fall victim to "group think," but it is not called the 10th Man Doctrine.
    • Goofs
      They use Iridium satellite phones indoors (inside the aircraft carrier, inside the airplane) which is not possible - they need a clear view of the sky.
    • Quotes

      Jurgen Warmbrunn: Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening logos are shown in dark blueish color with intense music in the background.
    • Alternate versions
      An unrated cut released on home video adds almost seven minutes of additional action and some alternate/re-edited shots.

    Engaging from the 1st Moment

    I skipped this when it came out because I was sick of the Zombie theme. This one intrigued me because it was written by Mel Brooks' son, Max; however, not enough to watch it. I was wrong. It is good because it is an action film first, and a Zombie film second. Brad Pitt is very good as an agent living a normal life until the crisis calls him out of his retirement. The cinematography is way too shaky for me and that is my major criticism of the visuals in the movie. The script, dialogue, plot, acting , and directing are all very good. I like this one and it stands out in the swarm of Zombie films.
