It took a trip backwards to the spirit of his 2004 zombie flick Dawn of the Dead for Zack Snyder to finally reclaim his groove, but that he has done with Netflix’s super Army of the Dead, whi…
thrown in for good measure. What Snyder clearly is showing with this near-two-and-a-half-hour epic of the undead is that he is capable of once again havinghave a blast too.
Ward, now flipping hamburgers for a living on the outskirts of town, is seduced by the offer and puts the band of mercenaries back together to go in and take the cash. They include his estranged daughter Kate who sees this as a way to help and also reconnect with dad, Vanderohe , Maria Cruz , the crafty and sly Lily aka The Coyote , Mikey Guzman and Chambers among others along for the ride.
Snyder delivers the action nonstop with lots of detours into danger and bloodletting moments for this group of ragtag warriors who find themselves up against formidable zombie talent including leader Zeus and the gooey Queen who has a real head for action. Wandering through the smoldering ruins of the strip is a zombie white tiger refugee from the Siegfried and Roy show we are told. Hilarious.
Along the way there are nods to Vegas staples like Liberace, and if you want to see a zombie Elvis impersonator you have come to the right place. Snyder doesn’t miss a beat in exploiting every angle of this wild heist, and acting as his own cinematographer for the first time shoots the hell out of it with exceptional help from Julie Berghoff’s fabulous production design, Dody Dorn’s ace editing, sensational visual effects and a terrific score from Tom Holkenborg.
