Movie Review

Zombieland
Rating: 8.5

2009, USA
by Ruben Fleischer
starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin

My best friend, Jerrud, whom I watched this movie with, made all of the best points about Zombieland so I will basically paraphrase him here:
Jesse Eisenberg is a great leading character.
It has fun doing it's own thing with a tired genre, and, even during the downtime from the action there is something good to be had.

It's a lot of fun, nicely short, and doesn't feel like it's missing anything.  There is very little character development, but what they give us is very tasteful and executed very well.  Light on the emotional stuff and heavy on the zombie killing/surviving.
I might only have one complaint and it's that the "rule #... cg layouts" are used just a few times too many.  That being said, there is pretty much nothing really to complain about.

A real treat.
