Initial Thought: It's quite obvious that this is the Asylum's ripoff of Mad Max. It doesn't really bother me though. I always enjoy these kind of dystopian futuristic stories. The trailer looked like fun to me. Hell when you throw zombies into the mix my attention is usually grabbed.
Characters/Acting: Nobody that is all too recognizable by name. There are a few here who have probably been in a few things you've seen though. The couple in the beginning are adorable. The Max Rockatansky copy looks like the love child of Jason Statham and Tom Hardy. The acting for the most part isn't bad except for the female "leader" of the group. She does some pretty cool things, but her acting skills are visibly lower than the rest of the cast. The characters are all interesting here.
Story: Think Mad Max with zombies on a smaller budget with no big names involved. I thought the beginning was cute. It kind of has a little bit of The Walking Dead mixed in involving the main character. So I guess these are kind of like the things from I Am Legend that you are never too positive on what monster they are. There isn't too much action unfortunately. When it does happen it's not really all that spectacular. There are a few decent twists here and there though. The cars could have been more awesome. That was a different ending than what I was expecting.
Directing/Writing: This is from Mark Atkins who usually writes and directs his Asylum movies. He worked on Android Cop and Battle of Los Angeles both of which were not too good. They both had actors I enjoyed though. It seems that Mark did a better job directing his script than he did writing it. It seemed that it was fully thought out and had a few moments where you just thought "what the hell was that?".
Final Thought: It's actually not too bad. It's a silly little time killer. It does have it's good little twists which make up for most of the boring parts. It had a few minor issues with the plot though. Anyways it was a decent watch from the Asylum production company.
