You may have seen a lot of Danny Boyle's films such as "Trainspotting", "Slumdog Millionaire", "127 Hours", "Sunshine" and many others and quite frankly, you can never hate on any of his works. Why? Because it's not just the direction that he's good at, he makes the viewers feel as if they are almost experiencing the same fate as the protagonist. The setting, the audio and visual effects, the ost's. Every piece is just carefully placed to give an ultimate movie experience. (A scene from "127 hours" where James Franco's character tries to cut his vein?)
Anyway, Cillian Murphy ("In Time", "Batman Trilogy", "Inception" and lots others and my personal favourite and an under-rated actor in my opinion) does the role of 'Jim' who wakes up from a coma in a hospital only to find out that he is all alone. His performance in this movie alone shows how talented he is. Confused at 1st and aggressive afterwards, he really brought the character to life. Brendan Gleeson ("In Bruges", "Gangs of New York", "Harry Potter series" and lots others, a brilliant actor) does the role of 'Frank'. Delivers it brilliantly. Naomie Harris ("Pirates of the Caribbean series", "Skyfall", "Miami Vice" and lots others) though she is al-right, performed really well in this one. Other big names, each doing justice to their roles.
The movie itself is a brilliant piece. With infected people/zombies trying to finish the remains of the living ones and how the living ones themselves try to finish each other off. Lots to think about, and a nail-biter for sure. Brilliant thriller.
My recommendation, do watch it if you like zombie movie, because this one sure is one of the best ones in that particular genre.
