When a tone/message from mobile phones - sorry, cellphones - has the effect of rebooting the listener's brain (which means nearly everyone) and turning them into ravening zombies, Clay decides to go looking for his son, picking up other survivors on the way.John Cusack, Sam Jackson, the wonderful Isabelle Fuhrman, a Stephen King story driven by action and event - what could go wrong?This movie, basically. The book, to be fair, was never one of my favourite King offerings - it just didn't work for me. I found it far too generic a zombie-world offering and the characters did little to live in my memory.The film takes that and doesn't so much add nothing, it (unbelievably) reduces it. So what we have is a film which is largely jittercam zombie-avoidance. Which wears thin pretty quickly, particularly as there has been so very, very much of it in recent years.I can't think of a reason for saying "Go and see this film."

There is nothing in this movie, trust me. If there is no star, I will give it.

There was a time when the Dracula movies were the rage. Now we are in a zombie movie period. This zombie one reminds the 70s film Invasion of the body snatchers. Today, we don't waste time on details in movies, we go right to the gruesome. In any case, this was a not so new take. Too psychopathic and a bit ridiculous in how cruel zombies and anti-zombies are. Felt like english vs indians. Good last line though: "we're going to Canada". But please, don't come here!

However, seeing that Sam L Jackson was second billing, I gave it a chance even with the low IMDb rating. I don't understand what happened. The movie was actually not too bad until it got to the end. Did they lose the Stephen King book they borrowed the story from? Granted, I never read this one, but King doesn't write disjointed drivel. And the last quarter of this film was drivel. The story began dropping connection about as bad as these cellular zombies. I understand that the Ice Cream Truck was a mobile bomb intended to take out some "Mother Cell Tower" that droves of these cellular zombies were doing laps around. And the number on the cell phone that the head- bomber gave Cusack was a detonator trigger. But WTF was the ending? Did the cell tower go down or not. We see Cusack, the son, and the cell tower being consumed in a virtual mushroom cloud. But then we see Cusack and his boy walking the railroadtracks following the the TJD markings on the trees. Then we see cellular zombie Cusack jogging laps around the cell tower with the rest of the hoard. Was this whole movie supposed to be a story in his head? If so WHO put it there? And how? Son of a bitch. I really hate a movie that isn't too bad through most of it, but then it seems as though the writers smoked some poisoned crack and died so the director gathered various ideas from the film crew on how to end the film, but decided each of the three ideas were so kick-ass they put them all in and let the viewer figure it out....or drive them absolutely bat-schidt insane. F#©k this movie. F#©k the cast. And f#©k the idiot producers and directors. Go eat a big cargo freighter full of rubber dog schidt from North Korea!
