    This is well worth your money and support.
    It's very, very slow and sombre and I did find my concentration drifting towards my tablet during the long sad music/montages but overall it's a good film and Arnie gets to act.

    Good to see something different for a change.

    Saw it, liked it. Arnie may not have a full handle on our language, but he puts it out there, and it works.
    Also, glad I watched it alone last night, my wife would've been bored $hitless.

    Another fairly +ve review - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/r...o-zombies.html

    A worthwhile stab at approaching the zombie subgenre in a character-driven, personal manner, Maggie lacks the substance to soar and occasionally plods along like a lethargic zombie. Its virtues do outweigh the faults though, meaning that you should extract more from the film than purely satiating a morbid curiosity over Arnie doing proper acting.

    Saw this a few weeks ago. It's ok. But, just ok. Probably the best acting Arnie has ever done in his life.

    If you like zombie cinema, then watch it.

    Wow! Really enjoyed this film.

    Thought the first 10-15 minutes was a tad rocky with acting/directing... but from there on a pretty solid moving drama. Not often I've had a tear in my eye in an Arnie film, but this was one. Quite moving at times!

    When I saw Commando I had tears in my eyes... of laughter.
