Director Marc Forster's "adaptation" of Max Brooks' zombie novel World War Z was plagued by multiple production problems & re-shoots, which normally results in an uneven mess of a film.
Surprisingly it doesn't happen here. In fact if you weren't aware of the behind-the-scenes dilemmas you wouldn't even notice the slight bumps here and there. It's basically Brooks' novel in name only, with a few brief nods to the book's text and instead it's an effective adrenaline fueled thrill-ride for the kids. I quite enjoyed it but apart from a few well-crafted action sequences there's not much to think about after all is said and done.
