Marc Dewick Seen some reviews that criticise the locations used or how easy it would be to use the locations due to weekend filming etc - what the hell does that have to do with the film ? Yes some of the actors are wooden and poor, however the story and plot is excellent - i'd compare this to the brilliant early 2000's John Cusack film 'Identity' - rather than the usual mindless violence (& yep I love that as much as the next guy) this movie makes you think - you have to think about previous scenes etc but the excellent use of flashbacks (& later realised 'flashforwards') it all fits into place. Occasionally movies should be about making you think and not just being dumb spit dribblers - I love the all action movies but occasionally some thought provoking movies don't go amiss. As for Danny Dyer - he's had his critics for generally portraying a mindless football hooligan etc, however his brief involvement in this does show more to his ability. Guys if you're going to grab a DVD for a night in with the other half, give it a try - but make sure you do a little homework first, it's not a zombie / action / horror / etc etc film - it requires some thought and raises some discussion points - be prepared !!!! All in all I'd watch it again (and have done so) - if you want other thought provoking movies grab 'Moon' as well - another well under rated movie that deserves more.

mrose606 If you want an easy watch then don't watch this. Having said that if you're the kind of person that likes to be kept guessing this is a really interesting film once it gets going. The director obviously has a passion for modern British film that makes it very dark but not depressing and after the first 15 minutes your set firmly on the edge of you seat. Some of the acting is not great but it doesn't spoil things as the concept is so intriguing. If you love films you cant not like this. Hope you enjoy this as much as i did. you can stop reading this review now as i am only padding it out to meet the minimum requirements of ten lines.

brianh I'm puzzled at some of the previous reviews which gave this film 1 out of 10. I watched this yesterday with my partner on DVD and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. All the characters are interesting and realistic. The film has great atmosphere and I loved how the plot unfolds to the climax and the understanding of why London is deserted apart from the seven. Like 28 days later the film presents a deserted London so its fascinating trying to figure out where in London each scene was shot and how they managed it. Although the film is low budget and can't be compared to the typical US blockbusters the producers have been careful to spend the funds available where it really matters. I can't say, do yourself a favour and ignore the previous reviews, since those reviewers obviously did not like the film. All I can say is that I enjoyed it and that you may enjoy it too.

tony atkin Lets cut to the chase here, this is quite a bad film; in much the same way that Hitler was quite a naughty boy.Its sole redeeming features are the initially interesting shots of London. After 10 minutes of nothing but however i found myself desperate for some actual drama and character interaction.Not in this film you don't! Armed with a woefully clumpy and clichéd script, the actors manage the impressive task of actually worsening it in the delivery.Philips chooses to adopt random unconvincing shouting as his tactic of choice, often cunningly contrasted with whispers, presumably to try and shake any remaining audience from the inevitable coma they will have slipped in to.Meanwhile the usually dependable Hassan vainly tries to rough it and gritty up the tension a bit, only to realise he's inexplicably trapped in a film thats so soporific, it not only couldn't fight its way out of a paper bag, it would shatter every bone in its frail lifeless body upon the slightest hint of contact.The only thing that actually piqued my interest (sadly for all the wrong reasons) was Mawson's turn as Henry. His ridiculous ham-fisted sloshing and bizarre facial extremes were only enhanced by his delivery of every line as if he were shortsighted and reading it off a cue card for the first (and hopefully last) time.This is tripe that gives stomach lining a bad name. As a nation we supposedly produce the finest actors and writers in the world, so what are these gormless half-wits doing on the big screen gleefully kicking this festering equine corpse? Avoid this film, unless you are either related to someone associated with it, or suffering from insomnia.Cynical maybe, but then so is a C- grade short stretched to a feature, with Danny Dyer hired to front it, whilst playing less of a prominent role than the girlfriend of its creator.Lord have mercy.
