Although World War Z is not as grand as what one may expect from such a title, this crime-thriller is one cleverly scripted and tightly packed Adrenaline PUNCH!
From the get-go, the film establishes itself with a resolute direction and a refreshingly swift pace. Gone are the days of unnecessarily dreary exposition, and rightfully so because - after all - it is an almost apocalyptic world. The film has some very imaginative and involving action sequences, among which is the terrifying self-perpetuating wall of zombie bodies.
It is something that you should expect, yet do not, and that is why it is absolutely brilliant; as are the defining plot twist and Brad Pitt's well-measured delivery and strong presence.

Surprisingly, the linear narrative is most appropriate. It teases you with fragments of the puzzle whilst inducing you to become a part of this world - before you know it, emotions start clouding your rationale - and then, of course, you're out of time. The resolution is revealed, and you are - most simply - awestruck.
The thrills are entertaining and somewhat frightening, and criticise to your heart's content, but cliched pop-ups and well-followed chase scenes are quite effective. However, it is the crime elements that stimulate your higher senses and truly horrify. The infested world at war is undeniably realised and realistic, and you are, paradoxically, trapped in an open space. Ironically, this would be a nightmare for either claustrophobic or agoraphobic folks.
I don't think I would survive a zombie apocalypse. I make too much noise.

My only criticism is that the undertone of possible conspiracy is fearfully underused; if you want to craft a smart zombie film, then craft it! It isn't that the conflict is unsatisfactorily resolved, but the film deserves an ending grander and bolder than an effective montage and an implied origin story. Ironically, the film is restricted by its over-sized budget.
This is World War Z, and whilst it is not fearless enough to be a 10, it is intelligent and gritty enough for an 8.
Love y'all.
