Like gangster movies, my experience with zombie movies is extremely limited. I asked it there, and I'll ask it here: are all zombie movies like this? I really need to start giving writers and producers more credit - I don't know why I've imagined these movies to just be 1 to 2 hours of being chased, killed, repeat ...
The action scenes are mediocre, and so is the whole self-serving protagonist turned compassionate citizen thing. For me, what made Train to Busan special were the peripheral stories and characters *spoiler alert*:
- The sacrifices of the dad-to-be and the homeless man
- The immediate hopelessness of the baseball player and granny
- The movie ending without the protagonist. I can't recall seeing a movie end this way - absent of all of the heroes that secured the characters' survival and safety
