Review of Overlord (2018) by Eludiumq36 — 27 Feb 2019
This was a surprisingly entertaining WWII flick that featured a cast of unknowns confronting nightmarish Nazi-experimental reanimated humanoids - colloquially referred to as "zombies". The film starts off with a high-action paratrooping event, then gets slow for a bit, till the big fight and explosion scenes in the final third.
There were some genuinely compelling fight/horror scenes in that final third. Some of the horror makeup is Oscar-worthy. Not sure why they selected relative unknown Jovan Adepo as the hero but he wasn't really up to it.
Maybe his "Boyce" character is best described as anti-hero since as an Army private he was insubordinate more than once. But as an actor, he didn't make a lasting impression, no one is going to call this their breakout film.
