Zombies, anyone?

I've been dubious about seeing 28 Weeks Later, but this review may have just sold me on it:

Zombie Mon Amour: I have an intimidating amount of work to get done over the next 12-24 hours, so I'll be brief: 28 Weeks Later is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and certainly the best I've seen in a long while. And believe it or not, allusions to the Green Zone and all, the movie is surprisingly (and, to be sure, subliminally pro-American). For those of you with an interest in pretty people (you know who you are, and it's not my place to judge), both Catherine McCormack and Imogen Poots are as beautiful as they are talented. Jeremy Renner is an obscurish character actor who does incredibly well. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is so awesome that I clearly now have to see everything else he's done.

Also, the movie stars Stringer Bell as the calm, deliberate voice of American authority. How can you go wrong?

Best comment in response:
Is there a zombie Omar in the film that eventually takes him out? Because that would be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Think I'll wait for video as I don't think it'll particularly suffer for being on the small screen, but now I do definitely want to see it. Of course I also still want to see "Smokin' Aces" and "The Host"...

Oh I saw a sneak preview of 28DL way back when it first came out, so I'm totally up on the story. I did like it, it was a really effective horror film (though the premise for the "rage virus" was a bit silly).
