I disagree. For example, you're saying that the gang bangers shouldn't give a shit about their old folks. When the old lady sees the cop she immediately jumps in to defend her grandson saying "don't take him away, he's a good boy he just got into trouble he's okay now", which shows in an understated way WHY a gang banger would stay in the middle of a zombie apocalypse to defend her.
Myself, I prefer subtle things like that than being hit over the head about a character's motivation. |
I agree, the grandmother stepping in like that was a nice touch. But so far most of the other plot lines are pretty standard Hollywood action movie fare:
racist hicks pissing people off, then needing help and/or being useful
asian kid providing the smarts/planning
cop trying to save the world/do the right thing
old guy being wise and steady/offering philosophical commentary
wifebeating guy getting put in his place
I do like that one of the sisters died. Now maybe the older sister will be free to pick up a gun and kick some ass instead of just fishing.
Why has noone thought about shelter for the fall/winter? They seem happy to be camping? What's with that?
