Four thugs are looking to break out of street hustling and move onto bigger and better crimes. They learn of a bank that’s never been robbed (it’s a holding depot for other banks) and go to a Mobfather for weapons. He agrees for a 10% profit plus what he’s owed from the botched job. Since he was screwed from their last job, the mobfather has a military veteran and bodyguard named Jackson ready to aid them in the heist.
The four thugs decide to rob the bank without Jackson only to end up screwing up the job, again. As night falls and, the thieves and hostages find themselves holding up in the bank as the town becomes ravaged by bloodthirsty flesh-eating creatures who were once human. Enter the man called Hunter a mysterious character who has run into these creatures before and knows how to deal with them. Armed with guns and knives, Hunter and the gang have to try and survive a massive attack by the creatures.
All I can say is that I took one for the team on this one. This movie had way too much thug life for me. I don’t speak the vernacular and had to think about some of the slang that was used. Rappers make up the main cast, and I guess they wanted to try their hand at acting. I can’t say that they were horrible, but they were far from great.
This is one of those movies where the victims are interchangeable. I didn’t really care for anyone and would have probably prefered if they all died. With the exception of Big Daddy Kane’s character, nobody was memorable in the film.
I guess I’ll start with the acting. The rappers/actors did a decent job playing thugs, but I have no experience to compare this to. I’m not a thug and never will be. In fact, I’m so naive that I’d be dead if I tried to be a hustler on the street, but I digress. Big Daddy Kane was okay I supppose. His character was a really bad Blade knock-off. Finally this brings me to the zombies, or the infected. They were slightly reminiscent of the Infected from 28 Days Later only their make-up wasn’t nearly as good and they were anything but scary.
