Nonureva Really Surprised!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Shaifali Bhagat I would not say its a bad movie because clearly the team worked hard u can tell that. But the movie does start to bore after halftime and that really hurt my brain. Its a good attempt but improvements could be made. Watch it only if u have nothing to do and wanna pass some time like when you are traveling or something. This movie loses its grip really soon and that kind of disappointed me. I saw GREAT reviews and decided to watch it but no I wanna say its a one time watch but that is actually way more than it actually deserves My father could not sit for 5 minutes to watch it. So the end statement is - Not a bad movie but not good either.

Kevin Lea Davies OK, if you're a fan of the video games, this is a must. As a stand alone movie, it's pretty terrible, but in a funny way.Jesse Metcalfe plays pseudo-reporter Chase, stuck behind the lines during a government evacuation in East Mission, Oregon, during a zombie apocalypse. Desperately trying to make a name for himself, he goes around trying to "Break the Story," while avoiding being eaten alive by zombies, or murdered to death by marauding villains.Okay, so the premise of the film isn't anything special. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ZOMBIE FILM. The only thing that makes it stand out as a title is it's relationship to the video games.The surprising aspect of the film is it's subtle humor. It actually has some hilarious jokes, outside of the main story line. The actors really tried to throw themselves into their roles, but actually they clash with the hilarity of what's going on around them. Rob Riggle even makes a guest appearance as 1st survivor Frank West. It doesn't matter that he doesn't look or sound like him, but hey, he's pretty funny.From the ridiculous weapons, predictable plot twists, and some absolutely hilarious zombie moments (the baby bjorn was the best!), it's worth a watch.5/10

suprawhat95 I watch just about every zombie movie I have the opportunity to watch and this stinker was hard to endure. They could have used less of the budget on the actors and more on costumes, makeup, and an editor that didn't just get out of high school or at least one that gave a crap about his job. Rob Riggle gave the best performance and all he had to do was be himself and I expect more from Dennis Haysbert he's doing mostly auto insurance commercials right now but this movie is a step down these people need to talk to their agents. If your looking for an off the beaten path good zombie movie check out Extinction I rented it from Red Box and bought it immediately after watching it.

Marc d'Entremont Based on the best-selling video games by Capcom, Dead Rising: Watchtower by director Zach Liposvsky brings us an new and original story that follows a young reporter's struggle for survival against a viscous zombie outbreak. In a race against time, he's forced to team up with a couple of strangers in hopes of escaping a quarantine zone before the government's scheduled city-wide purge takes effect.Within the first 2 minutes, we get to see our hero use a toaster, fan blade and car muffler as weapons to fend off a gun-wielding zombie cop. I think it's safe to say that, like fine wine, this film's definitely an acquired taste. I'm certainly not ashamed to admit that I had a bloody good time, and as a fan of the original games, I was unquestionably impressed with how true to the source material Dead Rising: Watchtower actually was. From a buzzsaw-equipped sledgehammer to a shotgun-machete, the weapons are borderline insane yet completely and utterly amazing to see in real life. Even the infamous "Zombrex" medicine plays a part in the story, which was also a nice nod to all the fun Dead Rising games.I guess it paid off that the franchise owners from Capcom refused to let the director bring this to life without first proving he's a genuine fan of the games by playing one in front of them. He clearly passed the test because this is probably the best video game adaption to film I have ever seen to date. What sets this zombie flick from the horde, however, is its actors and attention to detail towards the props, sets and gory makeup effects. As a fan of campy B movies, I can't deny that a large portion of them offer next to no acting talent, but this certainly isn't the case with Dead Rising's awesome cast. Featuring Dallas' Jesse Metcalfe, Bates Motel's Keegan Connor Tracey and 24's Dennis Haysbert, this is one TV star-studded cast that doesn't disappoint. Even the great Rob Riggle makes a side appearance as the original game's cocky photojournalist, Frank West, providing some hilarious newscast social satire. To top it off, the cinematography was unexpectedly smooth and includes some very cool points of view through the camera work. What stood out the most, though, was a remarkably long and totally impressive single take which follows a brutally epic zombie-killing spree.Since the film is sprinkled with bits of dark comedy and campy violence, there's no doubt in my mind that most critics will love to pick this Crackle original feature apart with genuine hate. For the cult classic enthusiast, however, this may just be the perfect storm of hilarious insanity. Flaws aside, at no point does the film ever try to restrain itself from being a glorified B movie and fans of the games are sure to eat it up, even more, because of it. Gleefully self-aware of all its over-the-top antics, Dead Rising: Watchtower is one love letter to the fans that's sure not to disappoint!
