Another American slaughterfest.

I like Brad Pitt. I think he's a very admirable person and an excellent actor. So I cannot understand why he would choose to be in a piece of trash like World War Z. This basically plotless film is a gratuitous bloodfest from the opening scenes till shortly before the insipid climax. It's an endless series of riots, savage attacks, terrifying chases, innocent people suddenly being turned into terrifying zombies, blood, blood, and more blood. It's your typical American film: violent, heartless, creepy, high-budget bedlam,  cinematic chaos, scenic savagery.  It has no value, no significant storyline, no heart, no reason for being made other than to freak out viewers who for some reason love this kind of predictable shit. And ultimately it's pathetic and not even as compelling as The Walking Dead.  I have learned that if a film is being shown on HBO, it's probably not very good, although most are not likely to be as bad as World War Z, which is disturbing not only because it's so violent and ugly, but also because it stars an important actor who one assumed had more sense.

Note: Everything today is non-stop action, special effects and endless noise. I wonder why they can't make suspenseful, well-plotted, quiet,well acted, bloodless thrillers like Coma anymore.
