Review of Dead Rising: Watchtower (2015) by Matt S — 10 Aug 2015

Dead Rising: Watchtower is one of the best film adaptations of a video game that I have ever seen. The humor is spot on and it keeps the spirit of the games. Everyone in this film does a great job. Rob Riggle is a great Frank West.

If you are a fan of the games check it out.
