He's done it again
He's done it again
Uwe Boll has done it again

We can't believe it
You can't conceive it

How'd he achieve it?

It's the worst show in town

Another Boll movie (bad) and includes the guys responsible for Anger of the Dead (bad) and Beautiful People (bad). Boll appears as the least convincing  President of the US without the hint of a US accent, the Secretary of State is Italian, we have a very unconvincing US General from Yorkshire, and all the other US soldiers are from Europe too and don't hide their accents (bad).

The plot - the US military send a musclebound "elite" team of mercenaries and a muscle bound prisoner into a small Romanian city to set off an atomic bomb next to a very unconvincing nuclear plant that doubled up as the secret US lab that created a biological zombie toxin to hide the evidence. The mercenaries have no equipment for some reason, barely any bullets, and a gun each at most.

Utter nonsense, typical angry Boll/Rosti/Boni misogyny. The women are silent, topless, dead or raped. The men are bearded and overly angry and macho. So much nonsense. I ranted for over an hour about this shit. Shit, I hasten to add, they renamed to Apocalypse Z to ride on the coat tails of World War Z. The colouring was ok, the zombie effects other than the weird giant one at the end were good. The rest was a bag of dicks with credits.

2.5/10 at best. It made me angry and feel like a bad person.
