REVIEW: "Zombieland"
View comments | Post a comment

With a hard-edged zombie comedy with a heavy metal attitude, you expect and want a Quentin Tarantino or Eli Roth kind of bloodbath. "Zombieland" sporadically has a gleeful sick energy and certainly contains some clever bloody kills with its arsenal. It is also proud enough to not throw the action inside a shopping mall (it has become a zombie movie cliché), and shrewdly has cast Woody Harrelson as a half-redneck, half-chummy man of the land paired with Jesse Eisenberg’s nerd survivor who is like Woody Allen in a teen body – they’re proof that the buddy movie can still work if you cast two severe opposites and fasten them together.
