Ten years have passed since the zombocalypse, and Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, and Little Rock must now face dumb, smart, stealthy, and rough zombies, deal with domestic issues and ally with lookalikes, hippies, and a bimbo.
Double Tap is the sequel, and I was reasonably afraid it would have nothing more to offer when it comes out. Having seen numerous sequels over the years flopping due to franchise fatigue or being out shadowed by their predecessors, can you blame me? Ten years later, Double Tap came out, proving me wrong, and it was more than I was hoping for. Director Ruben Fleischer, intentionally influenced/inspired by George A. Romero and Edgar Wright, finds new creative ways to put a smile on our faces or make us laugh out loud. The script is solidly inundated with comedic additions, alliances and horrifically funny villains, offering the well-known group of four an arsenal of punchlines perfectly fit for every occasion. Out of the A-list star cast, which does a brilliant job in front of the lens, Woody Harrelson and Zoey Deutch unequivocally stand out for being surrealistically funny.
I’ll seize this opportunity to say this as I’ve been holding it for some time now… Abigail Breslin seems like she doesn’t want to act anymore. Is it the burden carried by her mesmerising performances in Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and My Sister’s Keeper (2009)? Is it the ‘curse’ of the child actor/actress? Is it personal or professional obstacles that we are not aware of? Given the right role, I still believe she can ‘shine’ again, and I look forward to that day.
It’s definitely worth spending an hour and a half in front of the TV, as it will make you forget your problems and send you to bed. And the next day is always a new day… with a new film!
