I put this movie on my queue after reading this excellent review on a Blu-ray site. I suppose it didn't live up to my standards of bad movies. It was bad…but not nearly as entertaining as it should have been.
For some reason, the movie doesn't have a sense of the infected being the main threat. We only get a few sequences with them, and most of the time, the infected just lay around. During one confrontation, an infected who has been shot, suddenly sits up, and tears some innards out of a soldier that shot her. This seems like it came out of nowhere, and this level - or type - of violence doesn't appear again.
There's the guy trying to get to his young daughter, who was in day care on the 4th floor. Then we get treated to an undeserved romance between him and a female lead. They don't even kiss during the movie, but the romance is underlined in a few scenes.
There's very little action. Most of the movie seems to be people outside the building arguing.
Oh yeah, and the building is named "Federal Building."
There are a few disturbing undertones in the movie. There are several references to 9/11, which don't feel too awkward. But there's an implication of belief in the 'truther' movement. That seems to be in poor taste.
