Zombieland: Double Tap

 

The sequel to 2009’s Zombieland; Double Tap brings us back to Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock as they make their way to Graceland, while trying to keep their makeshift family together by staying alive against advanced zombies. 

Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin all reprised their roles from the original film which was unexpected but great to see. Everyone looked great and aged well over the course of the 10 year gap. Additionally, there were some fun new castings including Zoey Deutch, Rosario Dawson and Luke Wilson. I thought that they all brought something new, fresh and funny to their roles.

The plot moved quickly and kept me engaged with a good twist at the end. There were also some very entertaining action and fight sequences. The script was clever and funny. The makeup for the cast, especially the zombies, was gross and gory, which means it was done well. The only issue I had was that the cinematography at times highlighted or prolonged an unnecessary amount of nauseating scenes and overall felt more gruesome than the first.

However, with all that being said, I would still say that this was a solid follow up to the original. If you are looking for an action comedy mixed with a walk down memory lane, check this one out.
