![]() ![]() – Harold Perrineau (Michael from LOST) takes a giant leap backwards with a zero-substance role he probably would have turned down a few years ago. Unfortunately, it abandons the storyline mid-film despite it being one of the strongest elements. – Without getting into spoilers, the film starts-off exploring survivor’s guilt/personal cowardice in a really interesting way. Forgivable given the solid aspects of the film? Also yes. Several characters make stupid decision whose sole purpose is to drive the plot forward. – First and foremost: the classic “idiot plot”. It’s a good decision by post production team since it helps it to retain the distinctive look of the original. Scenes in the trailer that appear to be well-lit and crystal clear are far darker/murkier in the finished product. – Side note: the film’s trailer is fairly deceiving in terms of the actual look of the film. It’s essentially re-used here, which is a positive. – Score: Big fan of John Murphy’s work on 28 Days Later. The script ultimately lets him down…but it’s a pretty great performance, regardless. – Every time I’m about to write Robert Carlyle off (see Eragon) he reminds me of how good he can be with the right material. I’d imagine Fresnadillo’s schedule is going to be very busy in the coming months. A frantic scene involving snipers (on multiple rooftops) attempting to weed out the infected from a swarm of fleeing civilians works particularly well. ![]() He effortlessly pulls off big action sequences, claustrophobic horror and character driven moments. – I’ve never seen any of Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s other work, but he seems to be the real deal. It’s a logical approach for the sequel and doesn’t seem forced. How would society begin to rebuild itself? How do you get utilities back up? The food supply? How do you prevent outbreaks of disease? Mental trauma? The utter-destruction of the economy? 28 Weeks Later essentially slides down the surface of things, but it tries to hit most of those topics. – With all these end-of-the-world movies, I’m left wondering what happens after the credits roll. We follow a guilt-ridden father (Robert Carlyle), his children (Imogen Poots and Mackintosh Muggleton, credited by their Hobbit names) a military scientist (Rose Byrne), a sniper (Jeremy Renner) and his stock-character friend (Harold Perrineau).Ģ8 Days Later director Danny Boyle personally shot some of the second unit/hand-held footage as well as producing the film.
