Reminded me of Panic In Year Zero, but not as good. The dialogue was sometimes funny because it was silly or deadpan. Like when a radio announcer calmy says there has been 'an outbreak of cannibalism', as if he's a weather man describing drizzle. The soundtrack desperately tries to makes us feel something at the start. It's accompanied by strong imagery like a starving African child. That seemed a very cheap trick to make but it did make me eager to see what other bizarre things I'd see. The editing was pretty awful, but it make me laugh.
I appreciate the fast pace in the first half but visually it looked like channel skipping - very jarring. Can't say I cared for the characters but they were OK. Who doesn't mind watching an ex military architect wearing an eye patch? Like the African child there is a particularly random trashy scene with some bikers. Half way into the movie and it gets hard to watch. Boring.. Bad direction. No tension. No atmosphere.
Bit of a wasted opportunity overall. It all with red and says 'this picture is not a documentary, but it could be.' I disagree.
