World War Z

World War Z didn't suck, which kind of surprised me since I was so highly impressed by Max Brooks's book and had low expectations because the film stars Brad Pitt. He actually acts, ending up as a reasonable action hero. Our point-of-view character, a retired UN investigator, is called back to find out where all these zombies are coming from. He travels the globe, fleeing from zombie attacks and other dangers, surviving plane crashes, arguing with World Health Organization officials and Mossad operatives, until he finds a temporary solution to the outbreak. Well done overall.
