The action begins when Brad Pitt and his family are trying to drive through Center City Philadelphia. No family in their right mind would ever do this. Suddenly a massive zombie outbreak occurs and Brad Pitt is able to flee Philly within a few minutes. This was probably the most unrealistic part of the movie as it would take about an hour to get out of that part of the city during a normal day without zombies.

Brad Pitt then takes his family to Newark, NJ, presumably because it was an unaffected city. Although there are no signs that Newark has changed, Pitt decides to rescue another third world orphan, who he renames "Tommy" and then gets choppered out to sea to study the outbreak.

Pitt flies to South Korea next, where the zombies have caused constant darkness and torrential rain. Pitt talks to David Morse, who has pulled out all of his teeth but still talks fine, and then Brad decides to go to Israel to pacify Arab-Israeli relations. Unfortunately, a large group of Palestinians storm Jerusalem and Pitt flees in a Russian airliner.

He crashlands somewhere near England and goes to a research lab. While trying to make vaccines, he encounters a strange guy who keeps grinding his teeth and it is a little unclear if this guy is a zombie or just British, and I think this scene confused a lot of other movie-goers.

Then some other stuff happens, there is some more product placement and the movie ends.

When I first saw this movie, I really liked it. It is a gritty, low- budget movie that seemed very realistic and not too preachy.

But then I started reading about the movie and I felt really ripped off- this movie tries to come across as the sincere, truth story of an SAS raid behind enemy lines in Iraq, complete with firsthand narration.

IF you research the movie, there are all sorts of allegations as to its truthfulness, many coming from former SAS members. I read a lot and concluded McNab's tale was mostly fictional/grossly exaggerated, and this movie is likely a collection of lies and manipulations. Read up on it yourself and draw your own conclusions.

I understand movies are meant to entertain, and can be entirely fictional. But I have a huge problem of a movie trying to hold itself out as something it isn't, particularly if it made be a "reputable" company such as the BBC, and I really can't give it a decent grade because of that.
