Bridge of the Doomed

Overall, I found the story very disorganized. A good film needs a flow and this film doesn't flow. The characters were mostly one-dimensional; however, there were two that stood out.

First and foremost, I watched this movie because my dear friend Kimberly Lynn Cole was in it. She always brightens the screen with her magnetic beauty and she really stands out in this flick playing the wife of a very bad man.

Secondly, I love Robert LaSardo! He's great in everything he does. He brought a sense of realism in a film that seemed anything but.

It's for these two reasons that I give the film 6/10.

Su doesn't wait until the opening credits are over before launching his first zombie attack, and they're consistently red in tooth and claw throughout. This is a B movie, sure, but Bridge of the Doomed fits neatly into the world of Max Brooks and World War Z, updating World War II scenarios to the zombie apocalypse. And this IS a creature feature, because there's something way worse than zombies under that bridge, and it's a proper old-school monster like the one in Michael Mann's The Keep. While this Mahal Empire production doesn't have the expensive studio sheen of ventures like the Dawn of the Dead remake, it's a busy, energetic combat movie that doesn't put many booted feet wrong. And yes, although his character is largely off-screen, Paré comes in swinging with LaSardo for the climax, barrelling in like he's Burt Lancaster and leaving this critic one satisfied customer.

The writing was horrible. The so called acting was ridiculous. I read some reviews and I honestly have to wonder what movie they actually watched. It could not have been this incredibly ridiculous excuse for a movie. Bad script, bad bad bad acting and childlike special effects. Don't waste your time watching this absolute garbage. The acting is by far the worst part of this waste of time. I don't understand how anyone could think this was "Fun" or "Entertaining". It is neither. They may have had fun making this so called movie, but I guarantee if you watch it, you will be sad that you wasted over an hour of your life on this bad joke.

The script is rough, like no one other than the writer looked at it before they started filming. The dialog is cluncky, and much of it is pointless.

The zombie makup is decent, whoever did the SFX did a good job with the mackup and gore. The music is generic but pretty good. Where ever the movie was films was picturesque.

As a veteran, watching these types of movies is just painful. Would be so difficult to have had a military consultant on set to show you how soldiers Actually behave? The weapons dicipline is pathetic, these idiots cluster up like a JV soccer team, they maintain No type of security, they keep letting people watder off by themselves, and they all act like a bunch of college fraternity bros. Soldiers do not act like this. Stop making movies like this.

The movie tries really, really hard. I give it an A for effort. Unfortunately it just never really comes together. It's hit an interesting concept. A squad of soldiers must hold a bridge during a zombie outbreak. The zombies aren't their only problem. There's also a demonic creature that lives under the bridge that also proves to be a lethal. The movie delivers plenty of action. There are numerous battles between the soldiers and the zombies. There's also a film is also suitably gory. The acting is mediocre to bad, but I can get past that in a movie like this. Ultimately the movie lacks focus. There are several confrontations between the soldiers and a refugee camp in the woods nearby that never really go anywhere. Then there's the beast under the bridge. It's a completely unnecessary addition that never fully develops either.

Overall the movie is a decent watch for zombie fans. We've seen a lot better but we've seen much, much worse.
