Great performance from Paddy Considine

Paddy Considine really makes this film. I’ve always thought he’s a fantastic actor, and he proves it yet again with his performance in this film. Not only is his direction great, but his acting is truly superb. For me, the acting is the best part about this film and really what makes it better than average. Jodie Whittaker is also very good as Matty’s wife. The plot itself is good and definitely highlights the darker side of boxing, in a very stark and realistic manner. My issue is that boxing films have been done so many times before, and whilst this is a slightly different (and very good) take on the physical effects of boxing, I feel boxing has been done too many times before. Still worth a watch though for Paddy Considine’s performance alone.

Underwhelming

The problem with this is that zombie films have been done to death. Yes it gives another take on the zombie genre and has some unique features, but ultimately it still feels lacking in originality. Paddy Considine and Glenn Close are fantastic actors but they feel a little underused in this. And the ending is just silly. Sadly this is just an average watchable zombie film that is completely forgettable.

A contemplative zombie movie

It's been a long time since a 28 Days Later style zombie movie was out. It's more thought-provoking than an all out gorefest. The movie is watchable, although not my favourite genre. However, the acting was a little clunky. Only the slightly more polished actors Glenn Close and Paddy Considine really made a difference. Gemma Arterton is a pretty bad actress, she seemed robotic the entire time.
