Good use of story and actors
13 May 2017
I'm an avid movie fan....ANY movie fan. So I want to say something about the 2 Dead Rising movies, Watchtower and EndGame.

I enjoyed the first outing of Watchtower, it left me with wanting more, I get bored with constant Zombie attacks and munching down on the unfortunate, and just running around gnarling and falling to pieces here and there. Watchtower HAS a story to it, something to keep me interested.

The acting although not Hollywood style, it has a fine leading actor, fine leading actress, the dialogue is strong, the interaction between the survivors works very well. a mix of comedy / horror / thriller and action all work at the right places.and yes I loved the opening cop and clown scene Then came Endgame, now this was something I could get my teeth into (pardon the pun),introducing new actors into the mix really worked well, again the mix of the comic/horror/thriller and action scenes were great,I also liked the FEZA angle (FEMA)...if you missed the connection..take another look. The action comes thick and fast, the dialogue same way, the fight scene in the operating room is excellent...if that was me...yeah I too would use anything and everything I could get my hands on...terrific. The story carries on from the first movie, not from day one,but it all ties in very well, friends are reunited and the bad guys are....well watch it and see. It was good to see a cameo role from Billy Zane as the doctor, good job.

As conspiracy movies go, this uses a different angle, it's not in your face angle..very subtle.

All in all...if you watch these 2 movies back to back...comes the end credits....I promise you will want more.
