The Dead Mile (2012)

Сюжет кино: At the time of writing 'Walking the Dead' is hovering between three and a half and four stars on Amazon. Well if this tripe is an above average film the summer heat must be getting to me more than I thought - come on folks, our standards haven't dropped that much have they!?
First of all we've got to address the acting - in a word awful. The main male lead (Ted Biggs) was weak and though not his fault, his character wasn't at all likable. What was supposed to be the 'hero' character was actually a smug, grating and one dimensional annoyance. Also check out the cartoon-esque overrating and very strange, stumbling running style that is adopted.
The female lead was okay, but I knew I was in trouble when China's answer to the keystone cops appeared - seriously, the one of them was laughably bad; but again the cheesy script didn't help matters.
Then there's the plot which was at least original, but that had more holes than a colander. One example: So your niece is buried alive, surely there would be a little more urgency? Oh no, this pair decide to take a nap and begin the search in the guess what they only go and leave the door open, knowing that 'The Walker' is after them. You crazy kids! Also, if you were the only person left alive in your home village, being stalked by your un-dead, axe-weilding father, where would you hide-out?...Why at home of course! He'd never think of looking there!
SFX were cheap, so you haven't even got the safe bet of plenty of gore to hide the problems. The ending, when it finally yawns around is as bad as the rest of it (by this time we were actually laughing!) Again you know your in turkey territory when instead of just letting the viewer work it out they play a montage of earlier bits just to make absolutely sure you have I did thanks, in fact I think my cat did too.
Send me into 'unhelpful' oblivion if you want to, but if this review saves just one person it will be worth it.
'Walking the Dead'....please don't do it to yourself unless you want a chuckle at the above.
