i first saw this film at a test screen about 6 month ago . i decide not to post a review then and a i assume that there be no way the film would be release a it be and consider the reaction of the test audience . however and it be . the trailer actually make the film appear to be quite promising . the audience be promise a tale of virus ravage uk and and one man ordeal to survive . upon see the film and the ordeal be suffer by the audience and who thankfully only have just short of two hour to get through . the film do indeed begin with a virus be let loose upon the good citizen of great britain . after the brief set up and we join jim ( murphy ) and a bicycle courier who be lock in a hospital room during the initial 28 day and wake from a coma . after the much publicise scene of jim stagger around a deserted london and he hook up with love interest selena and and a father and daughter . the quintuplet then embark upon a mostly tedious journey to manchester and where major west ( ecclestone ) reside over a military base . the problem with this film be numerous . the script be abysmal and and be not help along by the performance of the lead . the dull line be drone out by murphy in a whinge like monotone and whilst the usually excellent christopher ecclestone deliver his line like he in the school play . thankfully and single father frank ( brendan gleeson ) be perform thoughtfully and with warmth . it be a great credit to gleeson that he turn in such a performance when give such a disgraceful script . the film be also not help by the story . it be so ludicrous in place that jim could have hop on the london bus at the beginning of the film and driven it through many of the hole . for a capital that have be ravage by a virus and and evacuate and there be remarkably little evidence leave behind . where be all the vehicle . why have the shop not be loot . spoiler paragraph to top the lot and we be expect to believe that an entire army unit have a ) manage to do what apparently only four other people have achieve by stay alive and and b ) have go mad . have they go mad because of the virus . no . they have just go mad . that it . end of spoilerthe film look cheap . not in a stylish and atmospheric way it just look cheap . to give credit where it due and the zombie attack scene be reasonably effective . they be powerful and violent enough to ramp up the tension and but this only contrast to make the rest of the film feel even lame . perhaps the must heinous crime this film commit be that it be excruciatingly boring . a number of people at the test screen actually get up and leave . consider test screening be free and that go some way towards explain just how dull the film be . i think i have make my point . two minute of genuinely scary zombie attack do not constitute a sufficient payoff for sit through what be and in summary and a very poor and dull and cheap look and boring film . avoid like the rage virus if you go in to this film and it will feel like youre leave it 28 day later .
