Army of the dead is a classic zombie movie with a twist which includes an old school heist feel, which takes place during a zombie apocalypse scenario as a group of mercenaries undertake the ultimate gamble and venture into the quarantine zone to pull of the greatest heist ever attempted
The group lead by Dave Bautist head into the quarantine zone of down town Los Vegas to break into the vault of a Hotel casino to grab 200 Million before the US Air Force drop a Nuke on Vegas.
MY CONCLUSION
How the story concludes is something you will need to watch to find out for yourself, However I will say it is a a well paced movie with plenty of action and twists along the way.
A unique storyline with some twists and excitement, plenty of action for lovers of both the zombie and heist genres, with many stand off scenes and gripping plots within each other that would be impossible to disclose without ruining the movie
