This movie's actually pretty good... for what it is (low-budget zombie film). But if you're expecting another shoot-'em-up Resident Evil/Zombieland, you'll be bored. I'm not the biggest fan of zombie movies but what appealed to me with this one was it's realism. I like to think of it as 28 Days Later meets Cast Away. Both of which involve the main character waking up in unfamiliar territory. But like Cast Away, Sam (the protagonist) has to figure out how to get food while avoiding being attacked/infected. He even finds his "Wilson" in trapping one of the undead (Alfred) and has conversations with him throughout the movie.

My main gripe was the ending.

A moderately good film if you consider yourself an action buff. The plot was interesting and centered around Parker's vengeance. While the acting was on point, I did feel that there was something lacking from the fight scenes. Entertaining at best but I'm used to a little bit more martial arts from Statham. Also, they used all digital effects in some of the actions scenes, particularly those including gunshots wounds. Not that big of a deal but it just comes off as noticeable fake when the blood looks like pink Kool-aid.

Overall the movie is worth seeing if you enjoy actions films/Statham films

Never Back Down 2 is very much identical to the first movie, only with a much smaller budget and this time revolving around 4 main characters training under Case (Jai White). Considering that I'm a huge fan of mma, action-movies and Michael Jai White (as an actor), I hate to say that this movie was predictably annoying. I think casting a couple of Abercrombie models in a movie like this was somewhat cliché and a bit of an insult to the mma scene. The acting was noticeably lacking (with the exception of Jai White) and there were a few scenes including Case's troubles and Justin's troubles that seemed to be poorly executed and lacked realism. There were also a couple soft-core sex scenes that seemed out of place. It was interesting, however, to see Todd Duffee act as well as Lyoto.

The only credit I could give this movie was it's extremely low budget ($3 million) and the fact that it was shot in only 4 weeks. Other than that, I guess this is all I can come to expect. I knew I would have to watch this while the lady was away because I knew she wouldn't like it. Boy was I right. I bet she'll like Undisputed-II though.
