Synopsis: The living dead threaten to invade a luxurious condominium. Meanwhile a guy steals a gigantic truck that is also a tank, and another guy is hired to get it back.
Appraisal: Although this is primarily an action-oriented film, there is some interest added by a possible political subtext in which the dead stand for the economically underprivileged. The curious fact is, this metaphor works much better for Third World viewers, since it is there that one finds a large segment of the population at the lowest stratum of society, with no jobs, no land, no homes, no education, etc. The rise of organizations such as the Landless Workers' Movement in Brazil is a consequence of the existence of this social segment, and the fear felt by the upper and middle classes is mirrored in this film by the fear that the living feel of the dead. But as I said the focus here is not on politics; this is an action movie and as such it offers nice but not especially memorable set-pieces. As a whole, it is somewhat undistinguished.
