Cockneys vs. Zombies

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Cockneys vs. Zombies

Post by Malcolm »

Synopsis:
It's right in the fucking title.

Review:
Stars a shitload of British actors you don't know and one you'll recognize as familiar but won't be able to think of for 10-15 minutes until your brain classifies his threatening demeanor, does a cinema history lookup, and begins wondering where he keeps his pigs in this movie.


A classic Romero zombie outbreak transpires which produces a steady stream of shambly, slow, and stupid ex-corpses. A couple NEDs, their psycho military buddy, and safecracking, lockpicking, casually hot cousin decide to rob a bank to pay off Brick Top's retirement home rent balance. During their incompetent heist, most of the city is overwhelmed and zombified. They take it upon themselves to hack their way back to the OAP house and rescue the inhabitants.

Verdict:
While the zombie thing has been overdone, this one is done entertainingly enough that it's worth watching. It's no Zombieland but it's better than most.

I'm 100% sure I've seen this movie. Surprised I didn't write a review.
