Good enough home action movie, but falls apart at the end

Decent enough a action movie to be entertaining for an hour or two. A lone wolf whom the filmmakers want us to believe a badass makes his way through a zombie apocalypse city. He is taken in by a group of survivors holed up in a police station prison. They have security cameras, alarms, steel door, and cells to lock themselves in if things go to hell. The plan is to assault the hotel where the zombies vampires and their alpha master are hiding (sound familiar, I am legend). The action scenes are OK as a run n gun but stupid characters.

For instance, a guy has to put a bomb on the other side of a sleeping horde and walks through the middle instead of around, then gets to the other end virtually waves to the others "hallo!!" And fails to see the monster obviously not hiding well at all right behind him. OK fine whatever we'll just pretend the Munster was invisible.

The movie has some parts it tries to be emotional or sentimental, right before the final action scene. This scene is like the downtime of any movie but could have been longer for adequate toilet break.

Now **possible spoilers** the movie falls apart during the final fight scene happens to be the last stand when the plan fails, which happens inside the survivors stronghold, which remember is a cop shop with lock up prison. They use tactics for 30seconds then just run for it. Not once did any of them close a prison gate to lock in/out zombies for shooting gallery. Apart from that one broom closet door. So lock all the kids in one cell when bringing in the main character at the start but don't use any locking gates for protecting at the final fight wen they know the zombies are coming, but use a phone to lure them to the leader.

It just ruined the an already half-crap movie. I say half-crap because it's only half crap. As stereotypical - the black guy gets overrun by zombies first in a stupidly predictable way, but not before the stupid guy.

Not much in the way of bad movie laughs. I would've better enjoyed my time watching the last parts of twister on TV with ads. Worth a look on 1$ DVD.
