“Army Of The Dead” (*** out of four) was a colorfully done zombie action thriller from the Zack Snyder factory about a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas that leads a crew of mercenaries (Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, and others) to take the ultimate gamble and venture into the hot zone of Vegas to pull off the greatest heist ever but can they stay alive and stay unaffected? A little of this goes a long way, as film has a thin story and goes on for nearly two-and-a-half hours, but throws in everything but the kitchen sick and cranks out enough thrills, scares, loud music, and action to make it worthwhile and entertaining. Basically a Snyder version of a George Romero picture but you get what you pay for
