Review of Army of the Dead (2021) by Rodrigo Perez for The Playlist — 11 May 2021

Snyder’s best movie since his debut, the zombie film “Dawn Of The Dead” (2014), Army Of The Dead is tremendously compelling and deftly navigates a lot of different tones, even if it quickly leaves more interesting ones behind.

Largely captivating and thrilling, for all is gore, darkly twisted comedy, and delicious tension— surely something satisfied audiences will walk away with—there’s also a minor but palatable sense of loss and melancholy.

One that echoes the hardships of the pandemic age and ruthless American capitalism and gives the film some socio-political edge.
