I never realized dawn of the dead was done by Snyder. It was a very good zombie movie. It was also interesting to watch that movie years later and realize what a D Phil Dunphy is
Yeah it was weird watching the first few years of Modern Family because I had his character in Dawn in the back of my head. He played a great *******....
It was very good. Amazingly, Snyder has been riding the success of that movie for his whole career, and it seems that no matter shitty his movies are nowadays it's all good because of that remake. (Yes, 300 was really good at the time. But it was just a frame-by-frame copy of the graphic novel.)
How is it a heist movie are they stealing it from the zombies? I think TWD ruined Zombies for me, I have no desire to watch them anymore, The Last Train to Busan was the last one I made it through good movie but zombies are just kinda boring now.
Stealing the money left in the casino's after the outbreak, from what I understand.... I don't even think about walking dead and their garbage take anymore.....
My point was its not actually stealing, it's more like salvaging. Does not matter, just thinking "heist" was kind of strange because that would involve having actual security.
I would argue that if paper money still has value then property laws are still valid. If they are breaking into a secured, locked building that would be a heist. If someone breaks into a bank after hours, doesn't trip the alarm so no security comes to the site, and gets away with all the money it is still a bank heist. If the zombie outbreak equals full on cataclysmic end of the world, there wouldn't be any point in having money in the first place.
In theatre? No. Netflix? Hell yes. Vanilla Zombies are played out. But it's an action move so I'll give it a go.
If there was a true zombie apocalypse, would that money really have that much value anymore? I suppose it is silly to apply logic to a zombie movie, but it seems like an odd premise.
Basic physics: Wouldn't zombies get dehydrated to the point of drying to dust in the desert without brains/meat/blood to eat?
I was thinking the same thing about the money but maybe it's only isolated to certain areas. A heist is usually taking something from somebody at this point it's just abandoned which is more like a salvage operation.
You guys know that the heist isn't about cash, right? One guy on the team is actually after the x thing which is in the vault and would make their boss the most powerful person in the world somehow. That guy might secretly also be their boss.
Not, actually. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people, as the saying goes. Snyder film came out 16 years ago. I imagine there are a ton of people in their 30s who watched Dawn of The Dead on HBO on mom and dad's couch when they were 15 years old that think it is the coolest think they ever saw and had no context at the time.
