Patient Zero: Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky. With Stanley Tucci, Natalie Dormer, Matt Smith, Clive Standen. After an unprecedented global pandemic turns the majority of humankind into violent “Infected,” a man gifted with the ability to speak the Infected’s new language leads the last survivors on a hunt for Patient Zero and a cure.

“This is a relatively unmemorable film. The strong points are the performances of Stanley Tucci and Natalie Dormer along with some others, and several novelties that make this different from a typical mindless-zombie film. On the negative side, the overall plot thrust was formulaic, and the zombies themselves seemed a little superhuman at times. That may have been part of the story, but if so it was never explained. Overall, the film was flawed in terms of its approach, but most of us donu0026#39;t have high standards for these types of film. Iu0026#39;m rating it a 6 meaning that it was engaging enough to finish, but I wouldnu0026#39;t recommend it unless you really love this genre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith a few changes, it would have been a very good TV pilot. The zombies are much better than those in The Walking Dead, which sort of fumble around. Think 28 Days Later.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am mostly writing a review because of the plethora of 1 star reviews, which seemed unfair. The only thing I can guess is that people who like some of the name actors, but generally donu0026#39;t care for zombie films, took a chance on this and were disappointed.”
