Army of the Dead (2021)

Zack Snyder crashing zombies into Ocean’s Eleven? Hell yes, and it mostly delivers the bloody chaos we crave. Dave Bautista’s Scott Ward is the grizzled vet with a chip on his shoulder and a daughter to impress—watching him assemble his ragtag crew for a $200 million vault heist inside zombie-ravaged Vegas feels like comfort food for apocalypse fans. Ella Purnell’s safecracker and Matthias Schweighöfer’s eccentric Dieter steal scenes with charm and quips that cut through the gore.

The setup’s gold: a walled-off Sin City crawling with alphas that actually think (and that zombie tiger? Iconic AF). Once the team breaches the casino, it’s non-stop carnage—sharks in fountains, slow-mo headshots, limbs flying like confetti. Snyder’s visuals pop in that signature desaturated glory, and the first-act Elvis-wedding crash is pure twisted genius. But damn, at 2.5 hours, it drags with forced daddy-drama and plot holes you could drive a armored truck through. Still, for zombie heist vibes, it’s a guilty binge.
